Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 105 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 105-11
Severability
Operative Text
The invalidity of any word, section, clause, paragraph, sentence, part, or provision of this article shall not affect the validity of any part of this article which can be given effect without such invalid part or parts.
Section 105-11 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes a severability rule for Chapter 105, meaning that if any individual word, clause, sentence, or other portion of the article is found legally invalid, the remainder of the article continues to stand on its own. This type of provision is a standard legal safeguard built into many local ordinances. It ensures that a successful legal challenge to one part of the article does not automatically nullify the entire regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 105-11, property owners and managers operating under Chapter 105 can generally rely on the article's remaining provisions remaining in force even if a court or authority strikes down a specific portion. Compliant operators typically continue following all other requirements of the article regardless of any legal challenge to an isolated section. Staying informed about any judicial or administrative rulings affecting Chapter 105 helps operators understand which specific provisions remain operative.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 105-11 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in Chapter 105 are not automatically eliminated if one part of the article is successfully challenged. Tenants can generally continue to assert rights and remedies provided by the unchallenged portions of the article. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help clarify which parts of Chapter 105 remain in effect and how they may apply to a given housing situation.
