Syracuse, N.Y., Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27 § 27-198
Severability
Operative Text
The invalidity of any provision or provisions of this article shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions thereof, but such remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 13 § 27-198 is a severability clause, meaning that if any single part of Article 13 is found legally invalid or unenforceable, that finding does not bring down the rest of the article. The remaining provisions stay in full force as though the invalidated portion never existed. This is a standard legal safeguard built into many local ordinances to preserve the overall regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 13 § 27-198 can take note that the article's obligations remain intact even if a court or authority strikes down one of its specific provisions. Compliant operators generally continue following all other requirements of Article 13 regardless of any legal challenge to an isolated section. Staying current with any official guidance from the City of Syracuse helps operators understand which provisions remain in effect at any given time.

Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 13 § 27-198 means that tenants retain the protections afforded by Article 13 even if one part of the article is successfully challenged and invalidated. If a landlord argues that a legal ruling on one provision eliminates other tenant protections, this severability clause is relevant to that claim. Tenants who have questions about which protections remain enforceable may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Syracuse housing law.
