Chittenango, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 137 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 137-1
Purpose
Operative Text
It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the inhabitants of the Village by updating, clarifying and providing enforcement mechanisms to the Code of the Village as it applies to manufactured housing. Such housing is desirable, as it serves the needs of the community. Such homes must be maintained in a scrupulous fashion, due to the proximity of individual housing units within areas designated for manufactured housing. Such housing is transportable, lending greater opportunity for damage during removal, transportation and reinstallation at a new site. Proper maintenance of such housing and the regulation of sites upon which such housing is installed decreases potential danger to inhabitants living in close proximity to each other and enhances the overall appearance and value of property in proximity to manufactured housing sites.
Section 137-1 of Chittenango's Code of Ordinances establishes the overarching purpose of Chapter 137, which governs manufactured housing in the Village. The provision recognizes manufactured housing as a valuable community resource while acknowledging that its unique characteristics — including the close proximity of units and the risks associated with transportation and reinstallation — require dedicated oversight. The chapter aims to protect residents' health, safety, and general welfare by updating and clarifying existing rules and creating enforcement mechanisms specific to manufactured housing.
