Cochecton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 150-7
Enforcement
Operative Text
The Building Inspector shall enforce all of the provisions of this chapter and shall have the right, at all reasonable times, to enter and inspect any manufactured home park or other premises used or for the parking or placing of manufactured homes: A. If the Building Inspector finds that a manufactured home park for which a license has been issued is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or is not being operated in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, he may serve, personally or by certified mail to the holder of the license, a written order which will require the holder of the license to correct the conditions specified in such order within 10 days after the service of such order. The Building Inspector shall, for purposes of determining compliance with this chapter, be authorized to make periodic inspections of all manufactured home parks and shall be provided entry to accomplish that task. The Town Board shall specify the frequency of such inspections and set fees to cover costs involved. B. If the holder of such license shall refuse or fail to correct the condition or conditions specified in such order within 10 days after the service of such order, the Building Inspector may suspend such license, and the holder of the license shall thereupon terminate the operation of such manufactured home park, provided residents have been afforded adequate opportunities consistent with state and/or federal law to relocate. A partial revocation of a license shall also be permitted. C. However, if the owner or operator of such manufactured home park shall thereafter correct such conditions and bring the manufactured home park into compliance with this chapter, such owner may then apply for the issuance of a new license for such park, and if the application is approved and a license granted, the applicant shall pay to the Town the fee required by this chapter without any credit for the fee paid for the license which was revoked. D. Any license which is not used for the purpose intended within two years of the date of issuance as evidenced by placement of the home(s) on the designated site shall automatically expire.
Section 150-7 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances establishes the Building Inspector as the primary enforcement authority for manufactured home park regulations in the town. The Inspector has the right to enter and inspect parks at reasonable times, issue written correction orders with a 10-day compliance window, and suspend or partially revoke a license if violations are not remedied. A suspended license can be replaced by a new one only after conditions are corrected and a fresh application—with full fees—is approved. Licenses that go unused for two years automatically expire.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 150-7, compliant manufactured home park operators generally maintain their parks in clean, sanitary condition and cooperate with periodic inspections conducted by the Building Inspector. When a written correction order is issued, operators typically address all specified conditions within the 10-day window to avoid license suspension or revocation. Operators who lose a license and later come into compliance must apply for an entirely new license and pay the full applicable fee, with no credit for fees previously paid.
