Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 187-11
Severability
Operative Text
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgement shall not affect, impair or invalidate to reminder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgements shall have been rendered.
Section 187-11 of Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 is a severability clause, meaning that if a court strikes down any individual part of the article as invalid, the rest of the article remains in full force. The invalidity of one portion does not spread to or undermine the remaining provisions. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve as much of the regulation as possible after any successful legal challenge.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 187-11, operators subject to ch. 187 can generally rely on the fact that a court ruling against one specific provision of the article does not automatically void the obligations or protections found in other sections. Compliant property managers typically continue following all unaffected portions of the article even if a particular clause is challenged or struck down. Staying informed about any court decisions affecting ch. 187 helps ensure ongoing compliance with the provisions that remain valid.

Section 187-11 means that if a landlord or other party successfully challenges one part of ch. 187 in court, tenants can generally still rely on the protections provided by the remaining, unaffected sections of the article. This clause helps preserve tenant rights under the broader ordinance even when isolated provisions face legal scrutiny. Tenants who have questions about how a specific court ruling may affect their rights under ch. 187 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service for general guidance.
