Cedarhurst, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 196-21
Severability
Operative Text
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this chapter shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved in said judgment.
Section 196-21 of Cedarhurst's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 196, is a standard severability clause. It establishes that if any individual portion of the chapter is struck down or declared invalid by a court, the rest of the chapter continues in full force and effect. The invalidity of one part does not spread to or undermine the remaining provisions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a practical matter, the severability rule in § 196-21 means that the broader rent-related obligations in Chapter 196 remain operative even if a court invalidates a specific clause or section. Compliant operators generally continue following all other requirements of the chapter regardless of any legal challenge to a discrete provision. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting specific sections helps operators understand which obligations remain in effect.

Section 196-21 protects tenants by ensuring that a successful legal challenge to one part of Chapter 196 does not wipe out the protections offered by the rest of the chapter. Rights and remedies established in other sections of the ordinance generally remain available even if a particular clause is found invalid. Tenants seeking to understand how a court ruling might affect their specific protections can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Cedarhurst's local ordinances.
