Residents of or prospective residents in a mobile home park or trailer camp in Hoosick may find § 266-5 relevant when evaluating whether a park was properly licensed from the outset. Because the provision requires health department certification and detailed site plans as part of the licensing process, tenants have a basis for inquiring whether those standards were met when the park was established. Tenants who have concerns about whether a park's licensing complied with these requirements may consider contacting the Hoosick Town Clerk's office, the Rensselaer County Health Department, or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what records are available.
