Sea Cliff, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-10
Severability
Operative Text
In the event that any provision of this chapter shall be determined by a court of appropriate jurisdiction to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, then only that particular provision shall not be enforced, and all other provisions of this chapter shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 98-10 of Sea Cliff, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 98 establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any single part of the chapter is found by a court to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific part is set aside while the rest of the chapter continues to operate as written. This is a standard legal safeguard designed to preserve the integrity of the broader ordinance even when one component is successfully challenged. The provision ensures that a ruling against one clause does not invalidate the entire chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 98-10 of Sea Cliff's Code of Ordinances Chapter 98, a compliant property owner or manager can generally rely on the chapter's remaining provisions continuing in effect even if a court strikes down a particular section. Operators familiar with this severability clause understand that their obligations under other parts of the chapter are not automatically voided by litigation targeting a single provision. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting specific sections of Chapter 98 helps operators understand which requirements remain enforceable.

Section 98-10 of Sea Cliff, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 98 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in the chapter generally remain intact even if one provision is successfully challenged in court. Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 98 have been violated can raise that concern as a defense in relevant proceedings or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand which provisions remain in force. Because severability clauses affect the scope of available protections, understanding § 98-10 can be relevant when evaluating any claim that a portion of the chapter has been invalidated.
