For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured home communities subject to Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-24 generally ensure that each home site is supplied with, or that residents maintain, appropriate metal or plastic garbage cans with secure, tight-fitting covers. Compliant park management typically conducts routine inspections of exterior property areas to confirm they remain free of accumulated debris, waste, or other materials that could create health, accident, or fire hazards. Keeping written records of inspections and any corrective actions taken at individual sites is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

For Tenants

Under Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-24, residents of manufactured homes have a right to live in a community where exterior areas are maintained free from hazardous debris, and where adequate, sanitary refuse containers are provided or required. If a tenant believes these standards are not being met—whether due to a landlord's failure to address communal areas or another condition—general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the local code enforcement office in Bath, N.Y., or contacting a tenant-rights organization for guidance. Documenting conditions with photographs and written communications can be a useful step when pursuing any of these options.
