Grand Island, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 225-17
Service buildings
Operative Text
If service buildings are to be included within a manufactured home park by the owner or manager, any such building shall comply with the following: A. Be located at least 20 feet from any manufactured home, court, street, road or driveway. B. Be of moisture-resistant material with well-drained floors to permit washing and cleaning. C. Be of permanent construction and adequately lighted. D. Laundry facilities, if provided, shall have adequate heating facilities to maintain a temperature of 70° F. during cold weather. E. Have all rooms well-ventilated, with all openings effectively screened. F. Provide in such service building at least two commercial washing machines and one commercial drying machine and, in addition, two washers and one dryer for each 25 manufactured homes not having self-contained washers and dryers. Said facilities shall be maintained in proper operating condition at all times.
Section 225-17 of Grand Island, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 establishes construction and equipment standards for any service buildings voluntarily included in a manufactured home park. These standards cover placement distances, building materials, lighting, ventilation, temperature maintenance, and the minimum number of laundry machines that must be provided relative to the number of homes without their own washers and dryers. The rule applies only when an owner or manager chooses to include such a building; it does not require that a service building be built at all.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Grand Island who include service buildings must ensure those structures meet every requirement listed in § 225-17, including a minimum 20-foot setback from homes, courts, streets, and driveways, and construction using moisture-resistant materials with well-drained, adequately lit, and ventilated interiors. Laundry areas must be kept at or above 70°F during cold weather, and the required ratio of commercial washers and dryers—at least two washers and one dryer as a baseline, plus additional units for every 25 homes lacking in-unit laundry—must be maintained in proper working order at all times. Compliant operators typically conduct routine inspections of equipment and building conditions to stay current with these ongoing maintenance obligations under § 225-17.

Residents of manufactured home parks in Grand Island can look to § 225-17 for the baseline standards their park's service building must meet if one is provided, including adequate lighting, ventilation, temperature control, and a sufficient number of functioning laundry machines relative to the number of homes without in-unit laundry. If a service building's conditions or equipment fall short of these standards, tenants may consider documenting the deficiencies and reaching out to the relevant Grand Island municipal code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured home park regulations can also help residents understand what options may be available under § 225-17.
