Palmyra, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 121 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 121-7
Severability
Operative Text
If a term, part, provision, section, subdivision or paragraph of this chapter shall be held unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective, in whole or in part, such determination shall not be deemed to invalidate the remaining terms, parts, provisions, sections, subdivisions and paragraphs.
Section 121-7 of Palmyra's Code of Ordinances Chapter 121 establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any individual part of the chapter is found to be unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable by a court, that finding applies only to that specific part. The rest of the chapter continues to operate as written, unaffected by the invalidation of any single component. This is a standard legal safeguard built into many local ordinances to preserve the overall regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 121-7 provides assurance that the broader requirements of Chapter 121 remain in effect even if a court strikes down a particular provision. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other sections of the chapter regardless of any legal challenge to one specific part. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting Chapter 121 helps property owners understand which provisions remain operative.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 121-7 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in Chapter 121 are not automatically wiped out if one part of the chapter is successfully challenged in court. The remaining provisions of the chapter continue to provide whatever rights and remedies they establish. Tenants seeking to understand how a specific legal challenge might affect their situation may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Palmyra's local ordinances.
