Hoosick, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 266 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 266-19
Severability
Operative Text
If any section, paragraph, subdivision or provision of this chapter shall be found invalid, such invalidity shall apply only to the section, paragraph, subdivision or provision adjudged invalid, and the remainder of this chapter shall remain valid and effective.
Section 266-19 of Hoosick, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 266 is a severability clause, which means that if any individual part of the chapter is ever found to be legally invalid, that finding does not bring down the rest of the chapter. Each section, paragraph, subdivision, or provision stands on its own, so the remainder of the chapter continues in full force. This is a standard structural rule designed to preserve as much of the law as possible if a court or other authority strikes down a portion of it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 266-19 provides property owners and managers with assurance that Chapter 266's obligations remain intact even if one part of the chapter is successfully challenged. Compliant operators generally continue following all other provisions of the chapter regardless of whether a specific section is under legal dispute. This clause means that a ruling against one requirement does not create a blanket exemption from the rest of the chapter's rules.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Section 266-19, tenants can understand that their protections under Chapter 266 are not entirely eliminated if one part of the chapter is found invalid. The rights and remedies provided by the remaining sections of the chapter stay in effect and can still be raised as defenses or the basis for complaints. Tenants seeking to understand which specific protections remain enforceable may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Hoosick's local ordinances.
