Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-26 establishes a set of baseline responsibilities for residents of manufactured home parks. Residents are required to keep their lots, facilities, and equipment in good repair and sanitary condition, control pets to prevent nuisances, install exterior additions such as skirting and awnings according to park management instructions, and maintain those additions once in place. The provision also requires residents to allow management or authorized enforcement agencies access to the lot area—excluding the home itself—at reasonable times for inspections and repairs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-26, park operators and managers generally document lot conditions, communicate clear written instructions for the installation of skirting, porches, awnings, and similar additions, and enforce pet-control standards consistently across the community. Compliant operators typically schedule inspections at reasonable times and provide advance notice before accessing a resident's lot. Keeping records of maintenance requests, inspection findings, and any communications about exterior additions helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the chapter's requirements.

Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-26 outlines the responsibilities residents carry, but it also defines the boundaries of management's access rights—specifically, management and enforcement agencies may inspect the lot area but not enter the manufactured home itself without separate authorization. Residents who believe an inspection was conducted at an unreasonable time or that access demands exceeded what the provision permits may wish to document the incident and consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with manufactured housing law. Understanding these boundaries can help residents recognize when a request falls within the scope of § 72-26 and when it may not.
