New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 147 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 147-5
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 147-5 of New Hyde Park's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 147, establishes a severability rule: if a court finds any specific part of the chapter legally invalid, only that particular part is struck down. The rest of the chapter continues in full force and effect, unaffected by the court's ruling. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve as much of the ordinance as possible when any portion is successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 147-5 of Chapter 147, property owners and managers can generally rely on the remaining provisions of the chapter even if one section is ever invalidated by a court. A compliant operator continues to follow all other requirements of the chapter regardless of any legal challenge to a specific clause or section. Staying informed about any court rulings affecting Chapter 147 helps operators understand which, if any, provisions may no longer apply.

Section 147-5 means that a successful legal challenge to one part of Chapter 147 does not automatically undermine the protections offered by the rest of the chapter. Tenants retain rights under all unchallenged provisions even if a court invalidates a specific clause or section. Those seeking to understand how a particular court ruling may affect their rights under Chapter 147 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service for general guidance.
