Fort Edward, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 71 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 71-9
Revocation of license
Operative Text
A. Revocation of license. If the Building Inspector or Zoning Administrator finds and reports to the Town Board that a mobile home park for which a license has been issued is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or it is not being operated in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, the Town Board may, by resolution, authorize the personal service upon the holder of the license of a written order which will require the holder of the license to correct the conditions specified in such order within 10 days after service. If the holder of such license shall fail to correct or refuse to correct the condition or conditions specified in such order, the Town Board may, by resolution, revoke such license, and the holder of the license shall thereupon terminate the operation of such mobile home park or trailer camp within 30 days of such resolution. However, if the owner or operator of such mobile home park shall thereafter correct such conditions and bring the mobile home park in compliance with this chapter, such owner may apply for the issuance of a new license, and, if the application is approved and a license granted, the applicant shall pay to the Town Clerk the required fee without any credit for the fee paid for the license which was revoked. B. Revocation of license for mobile homes outside of parks. If the Building Inspector and/or Zoning Administrator finds and reports to the Town Board that any mobile home outside a licensed mobile home park is not being maintained in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, the Town Board may serve a written order upon the holder of the license and/or owner or occupant of mobile home directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied within 30 days after date of service. If such condition or conditions are not corrected within 30 days, the Town Board may, after a hearing, revoke such license, and the mobile home shall be removed from the premises within 30 days of such revocation by the owner. If the owner fails to remove such mobile home, the Town may arrange for its removal and charge the owner for the expense, which shall he levied as a tax against the property if the owner declines to reimburse the Town.
Fort Edward, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 71 § 71-9 establishes a two-track process for revoking mobile home park licenses and licenses for mobile homes located outside of parks. For licensed parks, the Town Board may issue a written correction order after a report from the Building Inspector or Zoning Administrator, and if violations are not remedied within 10 days, the Board may revoke the license and require the park to cease operations within 30 days. For mobile homes outside parks, a similar order allows 30 days to correct conditions, and if the owner fails to remove a home after revocation, the Town may arrange removal and recover costs as a tax lien against the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks and owners of mobile homes in Fort Edward should be aware that under ch. 71 § 71-9, the Building Inspector or Zoning Administrator can trigger a formal Town Board review if a property is found out of compliance with Chapter 71's maintenance and operational standards. Compliant operators generally keep their parks and units in clean, sanitary condition and respond promptly to any written correction orders, since the cure window for park violations is as short as 10 days. Owners whose licenses are revoked must apply and pay a full new license fee to resume operations, with no credit given for the previously revoked license.
