Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 115 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 115-11
Severability; conflict with other provisions
Operative Text
If any section or provision of this chapter shall be held unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective, such determination shall not be deemed to affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this chapter. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this chapter and any other local law or ordinance, the provisions of this chapter shall control.
Section 115-11 of Montour Falls Code ch. 115 establishes two structural rules for the chapter as a whole. First, if any individual section is found unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, the rest of the chapter remains in full force and effect. Second, if this chapter conflicts with any other local law or ordinance, the provisions of this chapter take precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 115-11, property owners and managers can rely on the chapter's remaining provisions even if a court or authority strikes down one particular section. Where this chapter's requirements differ from another local ordinance, the rules set out in ch. 115 are the ones that govern compliance obligations, so operators generally track this chapter's standards as the controlling framework.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 115-11 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of ch. 115 does not eliminate the protections or obligations found elsewhere in the chapter. Tenants whose rights arise from this chapter can generally assert those rights even if another local rule appears to conflict, since § 115-11 establishes this chapter's provisions as controlling. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Montour Falls ordinances can help clarify how this interplay affects a particular housing situation.
