East Hampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 174-3-1
Applicability
Operative Text
The provisions of this Article shall apply to each mobile home community and the individual mobile home sites located thereon. In addition, with respect to §§ 174-3-3 and 141-3-7, the provisions therein shall also apply to owners of freestanding mobile homes. The mobile home community operator shall be the agent responsible for satisfying the provisions regulating a mobile home community and individual mobile home sites. The regulations that specifically apply to individual mobile home sites, and are also the responsibility of each individual mobile home site resident, are as indicated. The responsibility of the individual mobile home site residents to comply with such regulations shall in no way relieve the community operator from continuing primary responsibility for compliance with all regulations set forth herein.
East Hampton Code ch. 174 § 174-3-1 establishes who is covered by the mobile home community regulations and who bears responsibility for compliance. The rules apply to mobile home communities as a whole, to the individual sites within them, and—for certain specific sections—to owners of freestanding mobile homes as well. Responsibility for meeting the regulations is layered: the community operator carries primary, ongoing responsibility for the entire community, while individual site residents are also responsible for rules that specifically target their own sites.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under East Hampton Code ch. 174 § 174-3-1, a mobile home community operator is designated as the primary agent responsible for compliance with all regulations governing both the community and individual sites within it. Compliant operators generally maintain oversight of site-level conditions even when residents share responsibility for their own sites, because the provision explicitly states that a resident's duty does not relieve the operator of continuing primary responsibility. Operators of freestanding mobile homes should also be aware that §§ 174-3-3 and 141-3-7 extend certain obligations to them directly.

East Hampton Code ch. 174 § 174-3-1 makes clear that individual mobile home site residents have a defined responsibility to comply with regulations that specifically apply to their sites. At the same time, the provision preserves the community operator's primary and continuing responsibility for overall compliance, which can be relevant if a resident believes the operator is failing to meet its obligations. Residents who have concerns about compliance may consider contacting the East Hampton town government, reviewing the full ordinance, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
