Under § 122-56 of Highland Falls Code ch. 122, occupants of mobile homes have a right to a unit that meets these safety and sanitary standards, including pest-free conditions, unobstructed exits, and proper seasonal screening. If conditions fall short—such as a pest infestation, blocked exits, or missing screens during the required season—tenants can document the issues and raise the violation with the appropriate local code enforcement authority in Highland Falls. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can help residents understand what options may be available when a mobile home is not maintained in accordance with this provision.
