Halfmoon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 107-12
No exception
Operative Text
This chapter does not except from its application any person, partnership, association, joint venture or corporation which heretofore may have received a license or permit from the Town of Halfmoon in accordance with the chapter known as "Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Park" of the Town of Halfmoon, effective October 27, 1958, the chapter for the regulation of mobile home and mobile home park, effective April 2, 1968, or any earlier or other chapter of the Town concerning the same subject matter. This chapter applies to any such license; subject, however, to any different legal rights of such license heretofore established.
Section 107-12 of Halfmoon's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 107, establishes that no individual, partnership, association, joint venture, or corporation is exempt from the current chapter's requirements simply because they previously obtained a license or permit under earlier mobile home and mobile home park ordinances—including those effective October 27, 1958, or April 2, 1968. The current chapter applies to all such existing licenses, though any distinct legal rights that were formally established under those prior licenses are preserved. In effect, the rule closes a potential loophole by which older permit holders might claim they are grandfathered out of current regulations entirely.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks or mobile home facilities in Halfmoon who hold licenses or permits issued under predecessor ordinances should be aware that § 107-12 of Chapter 107 subjects those older licenses to the full scope of the current chapter's requirements. Compliant operators generally review their existing permits against current Chapter 107 standards rather than assuming that a pre-1968 or pre-1958 license provides blanket exemption. Where a prior license established specific legal rights, those rights may still be recognized, but operators typically document such rights clearly to distinguish them from a general claim of exemption.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants residing in mobile home parks in Halfmoon may find it relevant that § 107-12 of Chapter 107 prevents park operators from claiming they are entirely exempt from current regulations on the basis of older licenses or permits. This means the protections and requirements of the current chapter generally apply regardless of when the park was originally licensed. Tenants who believe a park operator is improperly relying on an older permit to avoid current obligations may wish to contact the Town of Halfmoon directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with local mobile home park regulations.
