Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-25
Severability
Operative Text
Should any section or provision of this ordinance or any amendment thereto be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the ordinance or any part thereof except the part which was declared invalid.
Section 54-25 of Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 54 is a standard severability clause, meaning that if any single part of the ordinance is struck down by a court, the rest of the ordinance continues to have full legal effect. The invalidation of one section does not automatically unravel the entire regulatory framework. This type of provision is common in legislation and is designed to preserve as much of the law as possible when a portion is found to be unenforceable.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 54-25 of Islip's Chapter 54, landlords and property managers should understand that even if a court invalidates a specific provision of this ordinance, the remaining sections retain their legal force. Compliance obligations under the unaffected portions of the ordinance continue unchanged. Operators should monitor any court decisions that may affect specific sections while continuing to follow all other requirements of Chapter 54.
