Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 139-16
Referral of application; inspection; reports; issuance of permit
Operative Text
A. Promptly upon receipt of such application and fee, the Village Clerk shall cause the application to be referred to the Superintendent of Public Works, who shall inspect the mobile home and the premises upon which it is to be located to determine compliance with the provisions of this chapter and the requirements herein set forth. B. The Superintendent of Public Works shall promptly report to the Village Clerk the result of his inspection, and the Village Clerk shall thereupon inform the applicant of the results of said inspection. The applicant shall be required to promptly comply with the provisions of this chapter, and when compliance has been had, the Clerk shall issue the permit.
Under Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-16, once a mobile home permit application and fee are received, the Village Clerk routes the application to the Superintendent of Public Works, who inspects both the mobile home and the proposed site for compliance with Chapter 139. The Superintendent then reports inspection findings back to the Village Clerk, who notifies the applicant of the results. If deficiencies are found, the applicant must correct them before the Clerk will issue the permit.

Operators seeking to place a mobile home in Highland Falls should be aware that § 139-16 triggers an automatic referral to the Superintendent of Public Works as soon as the application and fee are submitted. A compliant operator generally ensures the mobile home and its intended site meet all Chapter 139 standards before applying, so that the inspection can proceed without requiring corrective action. Once the Superintendent reports compliance to the Village Clerk, the permit is issued promptly.

Residents or prospective occupants of a mobile home in Highland Falls have an interest in knowing that § 139-16 requires an official inspection of both the unit and the site before any permit is granted. If a permit was issued without the required inspection, or if the premises do not appear to meet the standards that inspection was meant to verify, that procedural requirement may be relevant to raising concerns with the Village Clerk's office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what Chapter 139 compliance looks like in practice.
