Hamburg Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 165 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 165-11
Severability
Operative Text
If any section, paragraph, subdivision or provision of this chapter shall be declared invalid, such invalidity shall apply only to this section, paragraph, subdivision or provision adjudged invalid, and the rest of this chapter shall remain valid and effective.
Section 165-11 of Hamburg Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 165 is a standard severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of Chapter 165 is found legally invalid by a court or other authority, only that specific part is affected. The remainder of the chapter continues in full force as though the invalidated portion never existed. This type of provision is common in local ordinances and is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when one component is successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 165-11, property owners and managers can generally rely on the fact that Chapter 165 as a whole remains operative even if a specific section within it is struck down. Compliant operators continue to follow all other provisions of the chapter that have not been adjudged invalid. Staying informed about any legal challenges to specific sections of ch. 165 helps operators understand which requirements remain in effect.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 165-11 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of Chapter 165 does not automatically eliminate the protections or requirements found in other parts of the chapter. Tenants who believe a specific provision of ch. 165 has been invalidated should verify which sections remain in effect, as the rest of the chapter continues to apply. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid resources can help clarify which parts of the chapter are currently enforceable.
