Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 97-12
Alterations
Operative Text
No changes shall be made to a mobile home lot or mobile home, which will make the mobile home lot or mobile home in violation of this chapter or any other applicable code, law, rule, regulation, ordinance or local law.
Section 97-12 of Barton's mobile home regulations prohibits any alterations to a mobile home or its lot that would bring either into conflict with the local code chapter or any other applicable law, rule, regulation, or ordinance. The rule applies to both the physical structure of the mobile home and the lot on which it sits. Its effect is to preserve ongoing compliance across all relevant legal standards whenever a change is made.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Barton Code § 97-12, operators of mobile home parks generally review any proposed alteration to a lot or unit against the full range of applicable codes—including Chapter 97 and any other local, state, or federal requirements—before work begins. Maintaining documentation of pre- and post-alteration conditions can help demonstrate that changes did not introduce new violations. A compliant operator typically coordinates with relevant local authorities when the scope of a proposed change is uncertain.

Section 97-12 establishes that neither a mobile home nor its lot may be altered in a way that creates a code violation, which means tenants have an interest in ensuring that any changes made to their home or lot by any party remain lawful. If an alteration appears to have introduced a violation of Chapter 97 or another applicable code, tenants may consider documenting the change and raising the issue with the Town of Barton or the relevant code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are generally available when alterations result in non-compliant conditions.
