Hamburg Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 165 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 165-7
Supplemental regulations
Operative Text
A. It shall be unlawful to increase the living or storage space of any mobile home licensed hereunder without first obtaining a permit from the Enforcement Officer. This shall not preclude or prohibit the erection of a storm shelter or seasonal enclosure thereon, provided that a permit is secured therefor, and provided that storage space is not afforded in the storm shed. Awnings or canopies may be attached to mobile homes, and an outdoor, unenclosed patio may be constructed to the rear of the front setback. Canopy roofs constructed of metal are prohibited. B. No occupied mobile home shall be located in a mobile home park in any area other than upon a mobile home park lot. C. Mobile home parks shall at all times be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and with any other requirements imposed as a condition of granting a license or the renewal thereof. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to abrogate any of the provisions of the Erie County Health Department or of the Public Health Law of the State of New York, as the same now provide or as the same may hereafter be amended. In the event of inconsistencies existing between the provisions of this chapter and said code or law, said code or law shall govern.
Section 165-7 of Hamburg Town's Code of Ordinances establishes several supplemental rules governing mobile homes and mobile home parks. Expanding the living or storage space of a licensed mobile home requires a permit from the Enforcement Officer, though storm shelters and seasonal enclosures are allowed with a permit as long as they don't provide storage space. Occupied mobile homes must be placed only on designated lots within a park, and parks must be kept clean and sanitary in compliance with both local and Erie County Health Department standards, with state or county law taking precedence in any conflict.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks under § 165-7 generally ensure that any tenant-initiated or operator-initiated expansion of living or storage space is preceded by a permit from the Enforcement Officer before work begins. Compliant park managers keep all common and individual lot areas clean and sanitary at all times, meeting both the local chapter's requirements and any conditions attached to the park's license or its renewal. Because § 165-7 explicitly defers to Erie County Health Department regulations and New York State Public Health Law in cases of conflict, operators typically maintain familiarity with those external requirements as well.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 165-7, residents of mobile home parks have a right to occupy a properly designated lot within a licensed park, and the park itself must be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition at all times. If a tenant believes the park is not being maintained in accordance with this section or with Erie County Health Department standards, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the Hamburg Town Enforcement Officer or contacting the Erie County Health Department directly. Tenants who believe their rights under § 165-7 are being violated may also wish to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York mobile home park regulations.
