Cell Tower

[Goodfella123a]

Does a mayor have the power to override a municipal ordinance? Specifically, ordinance states that a cell tower cannot be constructed within 500 feet of a residence. Tower was constructed on municipal property 220 feet from the closest residence. Mayor says he has the right to do so

I don't know what mayor you are talking about and whether it is of the city, state, municipality nor what either of those are. The bottom line is that if it is in a municipality then there should be some local ordinance that will answer your question. You'll probably have to search there for your answer.
