Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-14
Severability
Operative Text
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this chapter shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate 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 83-14 of Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 83 is a standard severability clause. It establishes that if a court finds any individual portion of the chapter legally invalid, only that specific portion is struck down — the rest of the chapter continues in full force. This prevents a single flawed provision from undermining the entire regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 83-14 of Chapter 83, the rent regulations as a whole remain operative even if a court invalidates a specific clause or section. Property owners and managers can generally rely on the remaining provisions of the chapter continuing to apply to their operations following any such court ruling. Staying informed about any judicial decisions affecting specific sections of Chapter 83 is a practice consistent with ongoing compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 83-14 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in Chapter 83 are not automatically voided if one part of the chapter is successfully challenged in court. Rights and remedies under other sections of the chapter generally remain available even after a partial judicial invalidation. Tenants seeking to understand how a specific court ruling may affect their protections can consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid service for general guidance.
