Operators of mobile home courts in Highland Falls are generally expected to keep their properties in continuous compliance with the full range of requirements set out in § 122-57. This means maintaining functional stormwater drainage infrastructure, ensuring all walks, driveways, and parking areas have durable paved surfaces, verifying that overhead wires clear driveways and parking spaces by at least 18 feet, and providing adequate exterior lighting throughout the site. Compliant operators also conduct regular maintenance to preserve the residential character of the court and do not allow occupied travel trailers or other temporary living units on the property.

Residents of mobile home courts in Highland Falls may look to § 122-57 as a reference point for the physical conditions their court is required to maintain, including proper drainage, safe and well-lit walkways and driveways, and adequate open space for privacy and ventilation. If conditions at a mobile home court appear to fall short of these standards—such as poor drainage, inadequate lighting, or deteriorating surfaces—tenants may consider documenting the issues and reaching out to the Highland Falls local code enforcement office to report potential violations. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a court appears to be out of compliance with ch. 122 § 122-57.
