Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-71
Prohibitions
Operative Text
(A) It shall be unlawful to keep, use or maintain a mobile home as a temporary residence for more than one hundred and eighty (180) days without the prior approval of the Director of Engineering Services. (B) A mobile home may remain beyond one hundred eighty (180) days upon good cause shown if, in the judgement of the Director, work has been started and the delay, if any, is not under the control of or due to the actions of the property owner, person-in-charge of or having an interest in the property.
Section 124-71 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 establishes that using a mobile home as a temporary residence for more than 180 days is prohibited unless the Director of Engineering Services has granted prior approval. An exception exists when good cause is demonstrated — specifically, when construction work has begun and any delay is outside the property owner's control. The rule balances a general time limit with a discretionary extension process tied to active construction circumstances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 124-71, compliant property operators generally ensure that any mobile home used as a temporary residence on their property does not exceed the 180-day threshold without first obtaining approval from the Director of Engineering Services. When construction delays arise from circumstances beyond the owner's control, operators typically document the progress of work and the nature of the delay to support a good-cause extension request. Maintaining clear records of construction timelines and communications with the Director's office is a practice commonly associated with compliance under this provision.

Section 124-71 sets a 180-day limit on using a mobile home as a temporary residence, but it also recognizes that extensions may be granted when delays in construction are not the fault of the property owner or occupant. Tenants living in a mobile home as a temporary residence may want to be aware of where their situation stands relative to this timeline and whether any required approvals have been obtained from the Director of Engineering Services. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices in Huntington can be a resource for understanding how this provision may apply to a given living arrangement.
