Operative Text
A. No person, firm, organization, agency, partnership or corporation shall place or cause to be placed any mobile home as defined herein upon any parcel of land or in any mobile home park lot unless an outstanding and valid installation permit for such mobile home has first been issued by the Town of Barton approving such installation of the mobile home upon a particular parcel of land or a particular mobile home lot prior to the placement of the same thereon. Any person, firm, organization, agency, partnership or corporation found guilty of violating this section shall be subject to such fine and penalties as set forth in § 97-43 below. B. No person shall occupy nor shall any person, firm, organization, agency, partnership or corporation permit to be occupied any mobile home on any mobile home lot, without first complying with the provisions of this chapter and obtaining a certificate of occupancy from the Town of Barton. No person shall place any mobile home as defined herein upon any parcel of land in the Town of Barton not in a mobile home park as defined herein, without first complying with the provisions of the Town of Barton Code and obtaining a building permit from the Town of Barton. Any person, firm, organization, agency, partnership or corporation found guilty of violating this section shall be subject to such fine and penalties as set forth in § 97-43 below. C. No person, firm, organization, agency, partnership or corporation shall place or cause to be placed any mobile home as defined herein upon any parcel of land not owned by the owner of the mobile home within the Town of Barton unless an outstanding valid mobile home park permit has been issued by the Town of Barton or the State of New York, as applicable, approving such parcel of land as a mobile home park and the placement of a particular mobile home in question on it prior to the placement of the same thereon.
Section 97-4 of Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 establishes a multi-layered permitting requirement for mobile homes. Before any mobile home can be placed on a parcel or mobile home park lot, a valid installation permit must be issued by the Town of Barton. Occupancy is also prohibited until a certificate of occupancy is obtained, and placement on land not owned by the mobile home owner requires either a town-issued or state-issued mobile home park permit. Violations of these requirements expose the responsible party to fines and penalties as specified in § 97-43.

Operators and owners of mobile home parks in Barton should ensure that every mobile home placement is preceded by a valid installation permit issued by the Town of Barton, as required under § 97-4. Compliant operators also verify that a certificate of occupancy is in hand before any unit is occupied, and that any park-wide approvals from the Town or the State of New York are current and on file. Maintaining organized permit records for each lot helps demonstrate ongoing compliance if questions arise about a particular placement.

Under § 97-4 of Barton's mobile home ordinance, tenants have an interest in knowing that the mobile home they occupy has been lawfully placed and holds a valid certificate of occupancy issued by the Town of Barton. If a mobile home lacks the required installation permit or certificate of occupancy, that gap in compliance may be relevant to habitability or legal-occupancy questions. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit meets these requirements may contact the Town of Barton directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
