North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 28A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 28A-6
Severability
Operative Text
The invalidity of any Article, section, paragraph, sentence, clause, word or provision of this ordinance shall not invalidate any other Article, section, paragraph, sentence, clause, word or provision thereof.
Section 28A-6 of North Hempstead's Code of Ordinances establishes a severability rule for Chapter 28A. This means that if any individual part of the ordinance—whether an article, section, sentence, clause, or word—is found to be legally invalid, the remainder of the ordinance continues to stand on its own. The provision is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when a specific component is struck down or rendered unenforceable.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 28A-6, property owners and managers operating under Chapter 28A can generally rely on the ordinance's other requirements remaining in effect even if a court or authority finds one portion invalid. Compliant operators typically continue to follow all other provisions of the ordinance without interruption when a discrete section is challenged or voided. Staying informed about which portions of Chapter 28A remain operative is a standard part of ongoing compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 28A-6 provides tenants with the assurance that their protections under Chapter 28A do not automatically disappear if one part of the ordinance is successfully challenged. Even if a landlord contests or a court invalidates a specific provision, the remaining sections of the ordinance generally continue to apply. Tenants who have questions about how a legal challenge to part of Chapter 28A may affect their rights can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service for general guidance.
