Haverstraw Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 171 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 171-13
Severability
Operative Text
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidated the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved in said judgment.
Section 171-13 of Haverstraw Village's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 171, is a severability clause. It establishes that if any individual portion of the article is struck down or declared invalid by a court, the rest of the article remains in full force and effect. The invalidity of one part does not spread to or undermine the remaining provisions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a property owner or manager subject to Chapter 171, the severability rule in § 171-13 means that the broader regulatory framework continues to apply even if a specific clause within the article is successfully challenged in court. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other provisions of the article unless and until a court specifically invalidates each one. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting Chapter 171 is a standard part of ongoing compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 171-13 provides tenants with the assurance that a legal challenge to one part of Chapter 171 does not automatically nullify the protections offered by the rest of the article. If a landlord argues that a particular provision has been invalidated, tenants can note that § 171-13 limits that ruling's effect to only the specific clause or section at issue. Tenant-rights organizations can help clarify which parts of the article remain in effect following any court decision.
