Alden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 235 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 235-8
Suspension of license
Operative Text
If the Code Enforcement Officer finds that any manufactured home park is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or is not being conducted in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, or that the applicable fees provided for in this chapter have not been paid, or that the applicable registration provisions of this chapter are not being carried out, such facts shall thereupon be reported to the Town Board and said Town Board may direct the Code Enforcement Officer to serve an order in writing upon the holder of the license for such park, directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied within 10 days after date of service of such order. If such conditions are not corrected after the expiration of said ten-day period, the Town Board may cause a notice in writing to be served upon the holder of said license, requiring said holder to appear before the Town Board at a time specified in such notice and show cause why such license should not be revoked. The Town Board may, after a public hearing at which all interested persons are allowed to speak, revoke such license if said Town Board shall find that said park is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, or that any provision of this chapter has been or is being violated, or that the fees provided for in this chapter have not been paid, or for other sufficient cause. Upon the revocation of such license, the premises shall immediately cease to be used for the purpose of a manufactured home park and all manufactured homes shall forthwith be removed within 90 days.
Section 235-8 of Alden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 235 establishes a process by which a manufactured home park's operating license can be suspended or revoked by the Town Board. If the Code Enforcement Officer identifies violations—such as unsanitary conditions, unpaid fees, or failure to comply with registration requirements—the park operator is first given a written order and 10 days to correct the problems. If corrections are not made, the Town Board may hold a public hearing and, after allowing all interested parties to speak, revoke the license entirely, at which point the park must cease operations and all manufactured homes must be removed within 90 days.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Alden should be aware that Section 235-8 gives the Code Enforcement Officer authority to report maintenance, fee, or registration deficiencies directly to the Town Board. Compliant operators generally keep their parks in clean and sanitary condition, stay current on all required fees, and maintain up-to-date registrations so that a written remediation order—and the 10-day correction window it triggers—never becomes necessary. If a notice to appear before the Town Board is issued, the operator has the opportunity to present their case at a public hearing before any license revocation is finalized.
