The provisions of this chapter shall additionally apply to nonresidential
premises unless a specific provision shall state that it is limited
to residential premises only.
A.
The provisions of this chapter shall supersede local laws, codes
or regulations to the extent that such laws, codes or regulations
are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, provided that
nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the adoption
and enforcement of a law, code or regulation which is more restrictive
or establishes a higher standard than those provided in this chapter,
and such more restrictive requirement or higher standard shall govern
during the period in which it is in effect.
B.
Where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with
a provision of a zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, firesafety,
health, water supply or sewage disposal law or regulation adopted
pursuant thereto or other local law, code or regulation, the provision
or requirement which is more restrictive or which establishes the
higher standard shall prevail.

with applicable statutes of the State of New York and orders, rules
and regulations issued by authority thereof.

Conformity of such work, materials, assemblies or equipment with
the applicable requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention
and Building Code shall be prima facie evidence that the same is reasonably
safe to persons and property.

Fire Prevention and Building Code is hereby incorporated as fully
as if set out in length, and the provisions thereof shall be the controlling
provisions in regard to multiple dwellings in the Village of Roslyn
