Chenango, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 48 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 48-14
Locations
Operative Text
A. Any mobile home shall not be parked or otherwise located nearer than a distance of: (1) At least 30 feet from an adjacent mobile home in any direction. (2) At least 50 feet from the park property line. (3) At least 100 feet from the right-of-way line of public street or highway. In cases where the park is adequately screened by topography or natural vegetation, this requirement may be waived to 50 feet by the Planning Board. (4) At least 20 feet from the nearest edge of any roadway located within the park. B. Only one mobile home shall be permitted to occupy any one mobile home lot. C. Each mobile home must be provided with perimeter skirting to hide all wheels, chassis and other appurtenances under the home to be installed within 60 days after the mobile home is placed on a stand.
Section 48-14 of Chenango's Code of Ordinances establishes minimum spacing and placement rules for mobile homes within a mobile home park. Each home must maintain set distances from neighboring homes, the park's property line, public roads, and internal roadways, with a possible reduction in the public road setback if the Planning Board determines adequate natural screening exists. Only one mobile home may occupy a single lot, and every home must be fitted with perimeter skirting within 60 days of being placed on its stand to conceal wheels, chassis, and related components.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Chenango must configure lots so that each home complies with the spacing requirements set out in § 48-14, including the 30-foot separation between homes, the 50-foot park-boundary buffer, and the 100-foot public road setback (or 50 feet if a Planning Board waiver is granted based on natural screening). Park managers generally track the 60-day skirting installation deadline for each newly placed home and confirm that no lot is occupied by more than one mobile home. Maintaining documentation of Planning Board waivers and skirting installation dates supports ongoing compliance with this section.

Under § 48-14, residents of mobile home parks in Chenango have a right to placement conditions that meet the code's spacing and skirting standards, including the requirement that skirting be installed within 60 days of a home being placed on its stand. If a tenant believes these location or skirting requirements are not being met, they may raise the violation with local code enforcement authorities or contact a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Tenants may also consult the Chenango Planning Board's records to determine whether any road-setback waiver was properly granted for their park.
