Elbridge, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 190-5
Severability
Operative Text
Should any section or provisions of this chapter be decided by the courts to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of this chapter as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid.
Section 190-5 of Elbridge, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 190 is a severability clause, which means that if any single section or provision within Chapter 190 is struck down by a court as unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, the rest of the chapter continues to carry full legal force. The invalidated portion is treated as severable from the remainder, so the chapter does not fall as a whole. This is a standard structural provision found in many local ordinances to preserve the legislative intent behind the broader law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Chapter 190 § 190-5 of the Elbridge Code provides assurance that the rental regulations in Chapter 190 remain operative even if a court invalidates one specific section. Property owners and managers operating under Chapter 190 can generally expect that compliance obligations in unaffected sections remain in place regardless of any legal challenge to another part of the chapter. Staying current with all sections of Chapter 190 remains relevant because a ruling on one provision does not automatically relieve obligations under the others.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 190 have been affected may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for guidance on which provisions remain in effect.
