Alden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 235 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 235-7
License application and renewal procedures
Operative Text
A. License applications shall be submitted to the Planning Board for site plan review. Upon receiving the recommendation of the Planning Board, the Town Board shall approve, disapprove or approve conditionally the application. Upon approval by the Town Board, a one-year license to operate a manufactured home park shall be issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. B. Annual license renewals shall be issued by the Code Enforcement Officer, subject to an inspection, when the applicant states in writing that there is no change in the information contained in the original license application and upon payment of a license renewal fee as established by resolution of the Town Board. When changes in license provisions are sought, the applicant shall submit the revised application to the Planning Board, where the same procedures shall be followed as prescribed for an original license application.
Section 235-7 of Alden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 235 establishes a two-track licensing system for manufactured home parks. A new license requires Planning Board site plan review followed by Town Board approval before the Code Enforcement Officer can issue a one-year operating license. Annual renewals are handled more simply by the Code Enforcement Officer, provided the operator certifies no changes have occurred and pays the renewal fee; any changes to the licensed operation trigger the full original-application process again.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 235-7, operators of manufactured home parks in Alden must plan for a multi-step approval process before opening: submitting a site plan application to the Planning Board, obtaining a Town Board decision, and then receiving the license from the Code Enforcement Officer. Each year, a compliant operator submits a written statement confirming no changes and pays the renewal fee set by Town Board resolution to keep the license current. If any aspect of the park's operation changes from what was originally approved, operators generally resubmit a revised application to the Planning Board and follow the same full review process required for an initial license under § 235-7.

Section 235-7 means that any manufactured home park operating in Alden should hold a valid license issued through a formal public review process, and that license must be renewed annually. Residents who have concerns about whether their park is properly licensed or operating in compliance with its approved conditions may inquire with the Alden Code Enforcement Officer or the Town Board. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what recourse may be available if a park appears to be operating without a current license or outside the terms approved under § 235-7.
