Elmira, N.Y., Code ch. 8, art. V § 8-330
Partial invalidity
Operative Text
If a term, part, provision, section, subdivision or subsection of this article shall be adjudged unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective, in whole or in part, such determination shall not be deemed to affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of the terms, parts, provisions, sections, subdivision or subsections.
Section 8-330 of Elmira Code ch. 8, art. V is a severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of the article is found to be unconstitutional or legally invalid by a court, that finding applies only to that specific portion. The rest of the article's provisions remain in full force and effect, unaffected by the invalidated section. This type of clause is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve as much of a law as possible when one piece is struck down.

Under § 8-330 of Elmira Code ch. 8, art. V, operators can generally rely on the fact that a court ruling invalidating one part of the article does not automatically undermine the obligations or protections established by other sections. Compliant property managers continue to follow all remaining provisions of the article even if a specific section is challenged or overturned. Staying current with any legal developments affecting the article helps ensure ongoing compliance with the portions that remain valid.

Section 8-330 of Elmira Code ch. 8, art. V means that if a landlord or other party successfully challenges one part of the article in court, tenants can still look to the remaining provisions for protections and rights. A ruling that voids one section does not wipe out the entire article or eliminate other tenant-related rules within it. Tenants who have questions about how a specific legal challenge might affect their rights under the article may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office.
