Pittsford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 154 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 154-13
Severability
Operative Text
In the event that one or more of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this chapter shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 154-13 of Pittsford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 154 is a severability clause, meaning that if any single provision within Chapter 154 is found to be legally unenforceable, the rest of the chapter continues to operate as if that provision were never there. This type of clause is a standard legal safeguard designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when individual parts are challenged or invalidated. It does not create new rights or obligations on its own, but it shapes how the chapter as a whole survives legal scrutiny.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 154-13, property owners and managers can generally rely on the fact that Chapter 154's requirements remain in effect even if a court or authority determines that one specific provision is unenforceable. Compliant operators typically continue to follow all other provisions of the chapter without interruption when any single rule is called into question. This clause signals that the regulatory obligations of Chapter 154 are intended to be durable and not easily dismantled in their entirety by a challenge to one part.
