Clarkstown, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 157-4
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
This chapter shall not apply to mobile homes and mobile home courts nor to transient-type occupancies and uses, including but not limited to nursing and convalescent homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, farm labor camps, travel trailers and trailer parks and other forms of temporary housing.
Chapter 157 of Clarkstown's Code of Ordinances, as established in § 157-4, carves out specific categories of housing from the chapter's coverage. Mobile homes, mobile home courts, and a range of transient or temporary occupancies—such as hotels, motels, nursing homes, convalescent homes, tourist camps, farm labor camps, travel trailers, and trailer parks—are explicitly excluded from the chapter's requirements. Any housing arrangement that falls within these categories is not governed by the rules set forth elsewhere in Chapter 157.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties that fall within the excluded categories listed in § 157-4—such as mobile home courts, hotels, motels, nursing homes, or trailer parks—generally do not need to comply with the requirements of Chapter 157. Compliant operators in these categories typically look to other applicable local, state, or federal regulations that govern their specific property type instead. Landlords managing conventional residential rental units, however, should confirm that their properties do not fall within any of the § 157-4 exemptions before assuming the chapter does not apply to them.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you live in a mobile home, travel trailer, or a transient-type facility such as a hotel, motel, or nursing home in Clarkstown, § 157-4 indicates that Chapter 157's protections do not extend to your housing arrangement. Tenants in these excluded categories may still have rights under other local ordinances, New York State law, or federal regulations that apply to their specific type of occupancy. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing agencies can help identify which alternative protections may be relevant to occupants of these exempt property types.
