East Hampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 174-4-3
Severability
Operative Text
The provisions of this local law are severable. If any provision of this local law or its application to any person or circumstances is held invalid, said invalidity shall not affect any other provision or application of this local law which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application of the local law.
Section 174-4-3 of East Hampton's Code of Ordinances Chapter 174 establishes a standard severability rule for the local law. If a court or other authority finds any single provision—or its application to a particular person or situation—to be legally invalid, that finding does not automatically invalidate the rest of the law. The remaining provisions continue in full force and effect to the extent they can stand on their own.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Chapter 174's severability clause under § 174-4-3 means that a legal challenge successfully striking down one part of the local law does not void the entire ordinance. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other requirements of Chapter 174 that remain intact, even if a specific provision is later ruled invalid. Understanding the full scope of the ordinance's remaining obligations is important when any portion is under legal challenge.

Section 174-4-3 protects tenants by ensuring that if one part of East Hampton's Chapter 174 is found legally unenforceable, the protections and rights established by the rest of the law remain in place. This means a successful legal challenge to one provision does not wipe out the broader framework of the local law. Tenants who have questions about how a specific challenge might affect their rights under Chapter 174 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with East Hampton housing law.
