Dealers and property managers who sell trailers within the Town of Hamlin should be aware that § 454-23 prohibits any for-sale trailer on their lot from being occupied as living or sleeping quarters. Compliant operators generally ensure that trailers designated for sale are kept strictly in a commercial, non-residential status and that no individual is permitted to reside or sleep in them while they remain listed for sale. Maintaining clear records distinguishing inventory trailers from any separately permitted residential units can help demonstrate ongoing compliance.
