Cambria, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-29
Validity or partial invalidity
Operative Text
If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this chapter should be declared invalid for any reason whatsoever, such decision shall not affect the remaining portions of this chapter, which shall remain in full force and effect; and to this end the provisions of this chapter are herby declared to be severable.
Chapter 127, Section 127-29 of Cambria, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances contains a standard severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of the chapter is found legally invalid by a court or other authority, that finding does not invalidate the rest of the chapter. The remaining provisions continue to operate as if the invalidated portion had never been included. This type of clause is common in local ordinances and is intended to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when specific language is successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a property owner or manager subject to Chapter 127, Section 127-29 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of the chapter does not automatically void the obligations created by other sections. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all remaining provisions of Chapter 127 even if a particular clause is struck down. Staying informed about any legal challenges to the chapter and their outcomes helps ensure ongoing compliance with whichever provisions remain in effect.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 127-29 of Chapter 127 protects tenants indirectly by ensuring that the rights and protections established elsewhere in the chapter survive even if one portion is ruled invalid. If a landlord argues that a court ruling on one section eliminates the entire chapter's protections, this severability provision directly counters that position. Tenants who have questions about how a legal challenge to part of Chapter 127 might affect their specific rights may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general guidance.
