Fallsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 218 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 218-18
Severability
Operative Text
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part of this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
Section 218-18 of Fallsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 218 is a severability clause, a standard legal provision establishing that if any individual portion of the article is found unconstitutional, illegal, or invalid by a court, only that specific portion is affected. The rest of the article continues in full force and effect. This prevents a single flawed provision from invalidating the entire regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 218-18 of Fallsburg's Chapter 218, the severability clause means that even if a court strikes down one part of the article, the remaining provisions governing landlord obligations stay intact. Compliant operators generally continue following all other requirements of the article regardless of any legal challenge to a specific clause. This structural provision helps ensure regulatory continuity for property owners operating under the ordinance.

Section 218-18 of Fallsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 218 provides tenants with the assurance that a successful legal challenge to one part of the article does not automatically eliminate protections found in other sections. Rights and remedies established elsewhere in the article generally remain enforceable even if a particular clause is invalidated. Tenants seeking to understand how this affects their specific protections may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Fallsburg's local ordinances.
