Under Rochester Code of Ordinances ch. 5-18 § 5-18-4, when a manufactured home park closure statement is submitted to the city council, a public hearing must be held. The city's department is required to mail notice of that hearing—including its time, place, and purpose—to every manufactured home owner and rent-paying resident at least ten days in advance. To make this notification possible, the park owner must supply the department with a list of names and addresses covering at least one resident of each manufactured home at the time the closure statement is filed.

Operators of manufactured home parks subject to Rochester Code of Ordinances ch. 5-18 § 5-18-4 are responsible for providing the department with an accurate, up-to-date list of resident names and addresses—at least one per manufactured home—at the same time the closure statement is submitted. Compliant park owners ensure this list is complete and timely so the department can fulfill its mandatory ten-day mailing requirement. Failure to supply this information could impede the required notice process and create procedural complications in the closure proceeding.

Rochester Code of Ordinances ch. 5-18 § 5-18-4 entitles manufactured home owners and rent-paying residents to receive written notice of the public hearing on a park closure at least ten days before it takes place. That notice must identify when and where the hearing will be held and what it is about, giving residents a meaningful opportunity to participate. Tenants who believe they did not receive proper notice may consider raising that concern at the hearing itself, contacting the city department overseeing the process, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
