Rockville Centre, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 264 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 264-10
Severability
Operative Text
In the event that any provision of this chapter shall be determined by a court of appropriate jurisdiction to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, then only that particular provision shall not be enforced, and all other provisions of this chapter shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 264-10 of Rockville Centre's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 264, establishes a severability rule for the chapter's rent-related provisions. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any single provision of the chapter to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific provision is set aside while the remainder of the chapter continues to operate as written. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve the integrity of the broader regulatory framework even when one part is successfully challenged.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 264-10, a successful legal challenge to one part of Chapter 264 does not invalidate the obligations and protections established by the rest of the chapter. Operators who comply with the chapter's requirements should understand that their duties under other sections remain in effect regardless of any court ruling on a separate provision. Staying informed about any judicial decisions affecting Chapter 264 helps property managers understand which specific rules may be affected at any given time.

Section 264-10 means that if a landlord or other party obtains a court ruling striking down one part of Chapter 264, the protections and rights established by the chapter's other provisions remain intact. Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 264 have been violated can still raise those other provisions as the basis for a complaint or defense, even if a separate part of the chapter has been found unenforceable. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Rockville Centre's local ordinances can help clarify which provisions remain in effect following any court decisions.
