New York Mills, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 86 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 86-9
Severability; suppression of inconsistent provisions
Operative Text
If any part of this chapter or its application to any person or circumstances is adjudged by a court to be invalid or ineffectual, such judgment shall not affect the remainder of the chapter or its application to any other person or circumstance. This chapter shall supersede all laws inconsistent with it to the extent of such inconsistency, but in all other respects shall be deemed supplemental to such laws.
Section 86-9 of New York Mills Code Chapter 86 is a standard severability and supremacy clause. It establishes that if a court strikes down any portion of the chapter as invalid, the rest of the chapter continues in full force and effect. Additionally, where this chapter conflicts with other local laws, this chapter controls; where no conflict exists, both sets of rules apply together.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 86-9, property owners and managers can rely on the remaining provisions of Chapter 86 remaining operative even if a court invalidates one specific section. Compliant operators generally continue following all other requirements of the chapter regardless of any legal challenge to a particular part. Where Chapter 86 overlaps with other local regulations, operators typically look to Chapter 86 as the governing standard for any inconsistency.

Section 86-9 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of Chapter 86 does not eliminate the protections or requirements found in the rest of the chapter. Tenants can generally continue to rely on the chapter's other provisions even if one section is found unenforceable by a court. Those seeking to understand how Chapter 86 interacts with other local housing rules may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for general guidance.
