Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to ch. 97 § 97-37 generally maintain documented approvals from the Code Enforcement Officer for water supply and sewage disposal systems, and ensure those systems conform to applicable New York State standards. Compliant park managers provide covered refuse containers throughout the property, arrange for regular garbage collection, and keep grounds clear of abandoned or inoperable vehicles and accumulated junk. Where a park is not connected to a public sewer, operators secure Code Enforcement Officer approval for any sewage disposal facilities before construction begins.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of mobile home parks covered by ch. 97 § 97-37 have an interest in knowing that their park is required to provide safe water, functioning sewage disposal, and sanitary refuse management as a condition of operation. If conditions such as inadequate water service, sewage problems, or accumulations of garbage and abandoned vehicles are present, tenants may consider documenting the issues and contacting the Town of Barton's Code Enforcement Officer, who holds approval authority under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can help residents understand what options may be available when a park appears to fall short of these standards.
