Responsibilities of park operator
Operative Text
A. The person to whom the license for a mobile home park is issued shall be responsible for and operate the park in compliance with this chapter and shall provide adequate supervision to maintain the park, its common grounds, park roads, facilities and equipment in good repair and in a clean and sanitary condition. Park roads shall be maintained and, as required, such roads shall be plowed during the winter months so that access to each of the sites and common parking areas shall be available. B. In addition to the above requirements, the park operator: (1) Shall notify park occupants of all applicable provisions of this chapter and inform them of their responsibilities thereunder. (2) Shall place or supervise the placement of each mobile home on its mobile home stand, which includes ensuring its stability by securing all tie-downs and installing all utility connections. (3) Shall maintain a register containing the names of all occupants and the make, year, seal and serial number, if any, of each mobile home. Such register shall be available to the Building Inspector of the Town of Gates and/or to such other enforcement officers as may be designated by the Town Board. (4) Shall notify the enforcement officer at least two working days prior to when a mobile home is removed, placed or relocated in a mobile home park. (5) Shall not rent any mobile home lot for the placement and use of a mobile home for residential purposes except for periods of not less than six months. C. The holder of every license for a mobile home park shall file with the town's Assessor a duly verified record of all mobile homes located within the mobile home park on such date as may be established by the Assessor for the tentative tax date, together with the date such mobile home first was permitted to be located in said park and the make, model, year and size of each of said mobile homes.
Section 120-13 of the Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 120 establishes a broad set of operational duties for licensed mobile home park operators. The rule requires that parks be kept in good repair, clean, and sanitary, with roads maintained and plowed in winter so every site remains accessible. Operators must also keep an occupant register, notify authorities before homes are moved, rent lots only for periods of at least six months, and file verified records of all mobile homes with the town assessor around the tentative tax date.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Gates Code § 120-13, compliant park operators generally maintain a current register of all occupants and each home's make, year, seal, and serial number, keeping it available to the Building Inspector and any other town-designated enforcement officers. They provide advance notice—at least two working days—before any mobile home is placed, removed, or relocated, and they ensure that lot rentals are structured for minimum six-month terms. Operators also supervise home placement and tie-down installation, notify occupants of their responsibilities under Chapter 120, and file the required verified mobile home inventory with the town assessor by the established tentative tax date.

Gates Code § 120-13 entitles mobile home park occupants to a park that is kept in good repair, sanitary condition, and accessible by maintained roads throughout the year, including winter plowing. The provision also requires that the park operator inform occupants of all applicable provisions of Chapter 120 and their responsibilities under it, meaning residents have a right to receive that information. Occupants who believe their park is not meeting these standards may raise the operator's obligations under § 120-13 as a basis for a complaint to the Town of Gates Building Inspector or other designated enforcement officers, and may also consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
