Island Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 431 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 431-27
Severability
Operative Text
If a court determines that any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance is invalid or unconstitutional, the court's order or judgement shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this article, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article or in its application to the person, individual, firm or corporation or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such judgement or order shall be rendered.
Section 431-27 of Island Park's Code of Ordinances establishes a severability rule for the rent regulation article. If any portion of the article is struck down or found unconstitutional by a court, only that specific portion is affected — the rest of the article continues in full force. The invalidity of one clause or application does not unravel the broader regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 431-27, property owners and managers can take note that a successful legal challenge to one part of Island Park's rent regulation article does not nullify the entire ordinance. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other provisions of the article that have not been specifically invalidated. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting specific clauses 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 431-27 means that even if a court invalidates a particular clause or application of Island Park's rent regulation article, the remaining protections in the article still apply to tenants. A ruling that benefits or affects one party in a specific case does not automatically extend to all tenants or eliminate other tenant rights under the article. Tenants seeking to understand how a court decision may affect their situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or review guidance from local housing authorities.
