Hornell, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 178 § 178-46
Permit required
Operative Text
No person shall maintain or operate a mobile home court which falls within the purview of Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code without first having obtained a permit from the state, county or city health department office having jurisdiction.
Section 178-46 of Hornell's Code of Ordinances establishes that operating or maintaining a mobile home court covered by Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code is prohibited unless a valid permit has been obtained from the appropriate state, county, or city health department. The rule functions as a threshold licensing requirement, meaning no such facility may legally open or continue operating without prior governmental authorization. The permit must come from whichever health department office holds jurisdiction over the specific location.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 178-46, operators of mobile home courts subject to Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code are expected to secure the required health department permit before beginning or continuing operations. Compliant operators typically identify which level of health authority—state, county, or city—has jurisdiction over their property and maintain an active, current permit from that office. Allowing a mobile home court to operate without this permit exposes the operator to potential enforcement action for violating this foundational licensing requirement.

Section 178-46 means that any mobile home court falling under Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code is legally required to hold a permit from the applicable health department. Residents who have reason to believe their mobile home court is operating without such a permit may consider contacting the relevant state, county, or city health department to inquire about the facility's permit status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a housing facility appears to be operating outside required licensing rules.
