Operative Text
A. This chapter shall be enforced by the Building Inspector of the Town of Gates and/or such other official as may be designated by the Town Board. B. Said officer and his representatives shall be authorized and have the right in the performance of their duties to enter any mobile home park and make such inspections as are necessary to determine compliance with this chapter. Such entrance and inspection shall be accomplished at reasonable times, and in emergencies, whenever necessary to protect the public interest. The park operator shall be responsible for providing access to all parts of the premises to the enforcement officer or his agents. C. The enforcement officer or his representative shall make an inspection of each mobile home park as may be necessary, but at least once each year, investigate all complaints made under this chapter and, upon detection of any violation, in addition to any other penalties herein provided, serve a written notice upon the park operator or his representative, as designated on the license application, directing the park operator to correct the conditions therein specified within not more than 30 days after the date of delivery of such order. The order may also contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance. (1) Service of the order may be made personally upon the park operator or such other person as may be designated on the license application or by registered mail. (2) If such violation is not corrected within the period specified in the order or within any written extension of such time, the enforcement officer shall serve a notice in writing as provided in Subsection C(1) above requiring the park operator to appear before the Town Board at a time specified in such notice, to show cause at a hearing why the mobile home park license should not be revoked. (3) The Town Board shall hear all interested parties and their witnesses. Within 20 days after the close of such hearing, the Town Board shall make a determination, in writing, sustaining, modifying or withdrawing the order issued by the enforcement officer. Failure to abide by any Town Board determination shall be cause for the revocation of the mobile home park license and an order that the park be closed and the removal therefrom of any mobile home within a time specified in said order.
Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-18 establishes a framework for inspecting and enforcing compliance at mobile home parks within the Town of Gates. The Building Inspector — or another official designated by the Town Board — is authorized to enter parks at reasonable times, conduct at least one inspection per year, and investigate complaints. When a violation is found, the operator receives a written correction order, and if the violation goes unaddressed, the process can escalate through a Town Board hearing to potential license revocation and park closure.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-18, compliant mobile home park operators generally maintain open access to all parts of their premises for the Building Inspector and authorized representatives. When a written correction order is issued, operators typically address the specified conditions within the 30-day window stated in the order, or seek a written extension before that deadline passes. Failure to resolve violations can trigger a Town Board hearing and ultimately result in license revocation, a closure order, and a directive to remove mobile homes from the property.
