Section 122-59 of the Highland Falls Code of Ordinances establishes minimum physical and utility standards for individual mobile home lots within mobile home parks. Each lot must include a stable, properly graded stand to hold the mobile home securely, along with safe connections for water, sanitary drainage, electricity, and gas where applicable. Accessory structures, patios, and storage lockers must also meet standards for durability, safety, and convenient access. The provision is designed to ensure that mobile homes can be placed, connected, and serviced in a safe and orderly manner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Highland Falls must ensure that each lot complies with the physical and utility requirements set out in § 122-59. In practice, compliant park operators maintain compacted, properly elevated stands; install weatherproof electrical receptacles with equipment grounding; keep water supply connections safely separated from sanitary drainage lines; and ensure gas connections are gastight. Accessory structures, patios, and storage lockers on each lot should be inspected periodically to confirm they remain durable, appropriately located, and fit for their intended use.

Under § 122-59 of the Highland Falls Code of Ordinances, tenants renting mobile home lots are entitled to a lot that meets specific structural and utility standards, including a stable home stand, safe utility hookups, and properly constructed accessory features. If a lot appears to lack compliant water, drainage, electrical, or gas connections — or if the stand, patio, or storage locker seems unsafe — tenants may document the conditions and raise the issue with local code enforcement or the municipal authority in Highland Falls.
