(3) When approved, the Town Building Inspector shall issue a supplemental license, which will be effective from the date of issuance and continue until surrender by the licensee or revocation by the Building Inspector.

Section 150-3 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances establishes that operating a manufactured home park within the Town of Cochecton requires a valid license issued by the Town Building Inspector, following Planning Board approval under the zoning criteria in Chapter 240. The license remains in effect until surrendered or revoked, and must be renewed annually based on a Building Inspector compliance inspection. Owners who wish to expand an existing park must obtain a supplemental license through a separate application process, and licenses may be transferred to new owners as long as all chapter requirements are met and the Town is notified.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 150-3, operators of manufactured home parks in Cochecton generally ensure they have secured a license from the Town Building Inspector before allowing any use of land as a manufactured home park, and they maintain that license through annual inspections confirming continued compliance with chapter standards. Compliant operators submit the required written application, pay fees set by Town Board resolution, and provide evidence of sufficient public sewer capacity with New York State–approved improvements designed by a licensed professional engineer. Those seeking to add lots to an existing park file a supplemental license application accompanied by four sets of plans and specifications, and ownership transfers are handled by notifying the Town and confirming all § 150-3 requirements are satisfied.

Section 150-3 provides that any land used as a manufactured home park in Cochecton must be covered by a valid, annually renewed license, meaning residents have a basis to inquire whether the park where they live is properly licensed and in compliance with chapter standards. If a park is operating without a required license or has had its license revoked by the Building Inspector, that status may be relevant to a tenant's rights and living conditions. Tenants who have concerns about licensing compliance can contact the Town of Cochecton Building Inspector's office, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or seek guidance from a housing attorney familiar with New York manufactured home park regulations.
