Poquott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 123 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 123-17
Severability
Operative Text
In the event that any provision of this article should be determined to be improper or void, the remaining provisions of this article shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 123-17 of Poquott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 123 is a severability clause, meaning that if any single part of the article is found legally invalid or unenforceable by a court, the rest of the article continues to operate as written. This type of provision is standard in legislation and is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when one component is struck down. The rule itself does not impose any obligations or grant any specific rights — it simply governs how the article as a whole survives legal challenges.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Chapter 123 should be aware that, under § 123-17, a successful legal challenge to one part of the article does not automatically nullify the remaining requirements. Compliant operators generally continue to follow all other provisions of the article unless a court has specifically invalidated the particular section at issue. Staying informed about any legal proceedings affecting Chapter 123 helps operators understand which, if any, provisions may be affected at a given time.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 123-17 means that tenants retain the protections afforded by Chapter 123 even if a specific provision within the article is found to be invalid — the rest of the article remains enforceable. If a landlord claims that a court ruling on one part of the article eliminates tenant protections under another part, that argument would generally be inconsistent with the severability rule established in § 123-17. Tenants who have questions about how a legal challenge to Chapter 123 might affect their rights may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Poquott's local ordinances.
