Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-14
Severability
Operative Text
In the event that any provision of this chapter shall be deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this chapter shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 127-14 of Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 127 is a severability clause, meaning that if any single part of the chapter is found legally invalid or unenforceable by a court or other authority, the rest of the chapter continues to operate as if the invalidated portion had never been included. This type of provision is standard in legislation and is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when individual components are successfully challenged. It does not create new rights or obligations on its own.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a property owner or manager subject to Chapter 127, Section 127-14 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of the chapter does not automatically void the obligations imposed by the remaining sections. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other provisions of the chapter regardless of whether a specific clause is under dispute or has been struck down. Staying informed about which provisions remain in effect is a routine part of managing compliance under this ordinance.

Section 127-14 of Chapter 127 provides tenants with the assurance that protections built into the chapter are not entirely eliminated if one provision is found invalid. If a landlord argues that a ruling against one part of the chapter affects the whole ordinance, this severability clause generally supports the continued enforceability of the remaining tenant protections. Tenants who have questions about which provisions remain in effect may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for general guidance.
