New Paltz Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 129-5
Partial invalidity
Operative Text
If a term, part, provision, section, subsection or paragraph of this chapter shall be held unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective, in whole or in part, such determination shall not be deemed to invalidate the remaining terms, parts, provisions, sections, subsections and paragraphs.
Section 129-5 of New Paltz Village Code Chapter 129 establishes a severability rule: if any individual part of the chapter is found unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective by a court or other authority, that finding applies only to that specific part and does not bring down the rest of the chapter. The remaining provisions continue to operate as if the invalidated portion had never been included. This is a standard legal safeguard built into many local ordinances to preserve the overall regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.

Section 129-5 of Chapter 129 means that a legal challenge to one part of New Paltz Village's rent regulations does not automatically void the protections found elsewhere in the chapter. Tenants whose rights rest on a different section of the chapter than the one being challenged can generally still rely on those other provisions. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local New Paltz Village ordinances can help clarify which parts of Chapter 129 remain in force at any given time.
