Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-25
Laundry
Operative Text
A laundry facility with suitable automatic washers and dryers, plumbing, electricity and ventilation shall be provided in a central location unless it is clearly shown to the satisfaction of the Town Board that such a facility is not necessary for the needs, reasonable convenience or emergency usage by the residents of the mobile home park. A. The internal finish material of any common laundry facility shall be capable of withstanding frequent washing and cleaning. B. Any common laundry facility shall be provided with a suitably screened outdoor drying yard.
Section 106-25 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances requires mobile home parks to provide a centrally located laundry facility equipped with automatic washers and dryers, proper plumbing, electricity, and ventilation. Interior surfaces of any shared laundry space must be durable enough to withstand regular washing and cleaning. The provision also mandates that a screened outdoor drying yard accompany any common laundry facility, though the Town Board may waive the laundry facility requirement if it is clearly demonstrated to be unnecessary for residents.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Fishkill should ensure compliance with § 106-25 by maintaining a centrally located laundry facility outfitted with functional automatic washers, dryers, plumbing, electricity, and ventilation. Interior finishes in the common laundry area are generally selected and maintained to withstand frequent cleaning, and a suitably screened outdoor drying yard is kept available alongside the facility. If a park operator believes a laundry facility is genuinely unnecessary for residents' needs or convenience, § 106-25 provides a process to present that case to the Town Board for a formal determination.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 106-25 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances, residents of mobile home parks have a general right to access a properly equipped communal laundry facility, including a screened outdoor drying yard, unless the Town Board has formally determined otherwise. If a laundry facility is absent, inadequate, or poorly maintained, tenants may consider raising the issue with Fishkill's Town Board or relevant local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a park appears to fall short of the standards set out in § 106-25.
