Freeport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-30
Severability
Operative Text
If a term, part, provision, section, subdivision or paragraph of this article shall be held unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective, in whole or in part, such determination shall not be deemed to invalidate the remaining terms, parts, provisions, sections, subdivisions and paragraphs.
Section 128-30 of Freeport's Code of Ordinances Chapter 128 is a standard severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of the article is found to be unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable by a court, that finding applies only to that specific portion. The rest of the article continues to operate as written, unaffected by the invalidated section. This type of provision is common in local ordinances to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when one element is successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-30, property owners and managers can generally rely on the remaining provisions of Chapter 128 remaining in force even if a court strikes down a particular section. Compliant operators typically continue to follow all other requirements of the article regardless of any legal challenge to an isolated provision. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting specific sections of Chapter 128 helps operators understand which requirements remain operative.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 128-30 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of Chapter 128 does not automatically eliminate the protections or requirements found in other sections of the article. Tenants who believe a specific provision has been invalidated should verify whether the rest of the article's protections still apply to their situation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Freeport's local ordinances can help clarify which parts of Chapter 128 remain in effect following any legal determination.
