Kings Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-14
Severability
Operative Text
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or other part of this chapter shall be for any reason adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this chapter, and it shall be construed to have been the legislative intent to enact this chapter without such unconstitutional and/or invalid parts therein.
Section 122-14 of Kings Point's Code of Ordinances Chapter 122 establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any individual part of the chapter is struck down by a court as unconstitutional or otherwise legally invalid, the rest of the chapter remains in full force and effect. The provision also reflects a statement of legislative intent: the governing body is deemed to have wished to enact the chapter even without the invalidated portion. This is a standard legal housekeeping clause found in many local ordinances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 122-14, property owners and managers operating under Chapter 122 should understand that a court ruling invalidating one specific provision does not automatically nullify the entire chapter. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other requirements of the chapter that have not been specifically struck down. Staying informed about any court decisions affecting Chapter 122 provisions helps ensure ongoing compliance with the portions that remain valid.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 122-14 means that if a tenant or another party successfully challenges one part of Chapter 122 in court, the remaining protections and rules in the chapter are not automatically eliminated. Tenants who believe a specific provision has been invalidated may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand which parts of the chapter still apply to their situation. General enforcement paths under the still-valid portions of Chapter 122 remain available regardless of any ruling on a separate clause.
