Severability
Operative Text
If one or more provisions of this local law or chapter shall be deemed to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this local law or chapter shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 103-19 of Greenport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 103 is a severability clause, meaning that if any single part of the local law is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the law continues to operate as written. This type of provision is a standard legal safeguard designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when a specific piece of it fails. It ensures that a successful challenge to one rule does not automatically invalidate the entire chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 103-19 of Greenport's Chapter 103, a finding that one particular requirement is unenforceable does not relieve operators of their obligations under the remaining provisions of the chapter. Compliant property managers generally continue to follow all other rules in the chapter regardless of any legal challenge directed at a specific section. Staying current with the full scope of Chapter 103 remains relevant even when portions of it are under dispute.
