Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-12
Access to public streets
Operative Text
No manufactured home park shall be located except with direct access to a public street or highway and with appropriate frontage thereon to permit proper design of an access street. Said access shall require prior approval of the Village Board of Trustees.
Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-12 establishes that any manufactured home park must have direct access to a public street or highway, along with sufficient frontage to allow a properly designed access street. The rule also requires that this access arrangement receive advance approval from the Village Board of Trustees before it can be established. In effect, no manufactured home park may be sited in a location that lacks these street-access conditions or that has not cleared the Board's approval process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of manufactured home parks in Bath should be aware that § 72-12 requires both direct public street or highway access and adequate frontage as prerequisites for any park location. A compliant operator secures prior approval from the Village Board of Trustees before finalizing site selection or beginning development, ensuring the proposed access street design meets the standard contemplated by the ordinance. Maintaining documentation of that Board approval is a standard practice for demonstrating ongoing compliance with ch. 72.

Section 72-12 of Bath's Code of Ordinances gives residents of manufactured home parks an interest in knowing that their park's location was required to meet public street access and frontage standards, and that the Village Board of Trustees must have approved that access before the park was established. If a park appears to lack proper street access or Board approval, tenants may raise this as a concern with the Village of Bath directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York manufactured housing law. Understanding whether these baseline siting requirements were met can be relevant when evaluating the overall regulatory standing of a park.
