Section 454-22 of Hamlin, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 454 sets out the conditions under which trailers — including automobile trailers, house trailers, mobile homes, camping trailers, and boat trailers — may be stored, garaged, or parked on a property. An unlicensed trailer may be kept on a premises only if it is unoccupied and not used for sleeping or living, only one such trailer is stored outside an existing building at a time, and the trailer meets the setback requirements found in Chapter 520 (Zoning). A licensed camping unit, house trailer, travel trailer, or trailer may be stored on land owned by the same individual who owns the unit, subject to the use restrictions in § 454-20.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers in Hamlin should be aware that § 454-22 limits outdoor storage of unlicensed trailers to one per premises, requires that any such trailer remain unoccupied and not be used for sleeping or living purposes, and mandates compliance with the setback standards in Chapter 520 of the Town of Hamlin Zoning Code. Operators who allow tenants to store trailers on-site generally confirm that the trailer is licensed if it is a camping unit or travel trailer, and that the owner of the trailer also owns the land as required under subsection B. Keeping records of trailer types, licensing status, and placement relative to setback lines supports ongoing compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 454-22 of Hamlin's Code of Ordinances, tenants who wish to store a trailer on a rented property should understand that the rule ties several storage permissions directly to ownership of the land — meaning the licensed-trailer storage allowance in subsection B applies to owner-occupants rather than renters. Tenants storing an unlicensed trailer on rented premises would need to ensure it is unoccupied, not used for living or sleeping, is the only such trailer stored outside a building on the property, and meets zoning setback requirements under Chapter 520. Those with questions about how this provision applies to their living situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full text of § 454-20 for the related use restrictions.
