Sands Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-17
Severability
Operative Text
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this chapter shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part thereof directly involved in said judgment.
Section 127-17 of Sands Point's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 127, is a severability clause. It establishes that if a court finds any individual portion of the chapter legally invalid, only that specific portion is struck down — the rest of the chapter continues in full force. This prevents a single flawed provision from undermining the entire regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under the severability rule at Chapter 127, § 127-17, a court ruling that invalidates one part of the chapter does not nullify the obligations or protections found in other sections. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all remaining provisions of Chapter 127 even if a particular clause is successfully challenged in court. Staying informed about any judicial decisions affecting specific sections helps ensure ongoing compliance with the parts that remain valid.

Section 127-17 of Chapter 127 protects tenants by ensuring that a legal challenge to one part of the chapter does not wipe out the protections contained in other sections. If a landlord or another party successfully contests a specific provision in court, the rights and remedies established elsewhere in Chapter 127 remain intact. Tenants who have questions about how a court ruling might affect their specific protections under this chapter may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service for general guidance.
