Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-75
Removed of hazard or nuisance
Operative Text
Any mobile home placed, located or maintained on a sidewalk, street, roadway or public right-of-way shall be deemed abandoned and a nuisance and hazard to the general public, and the code officer shall be authorized to impound such units with or without notice to the owner or person-in-charge of the property, who shall be liable to the Town for the costs of disconnecting and removing the mobile home, transportation, storage at a cost of fifty ($50) dollars a day or part thereof, and other direct and incidental expenses, including an administrative fee equal to twenty-five (25%) percent of the total cost of the removal process. Said administrative fee is intended to reimburse the Town for the time expended by its employees in disconnecting and removing the mobile home, transportation, storage, notifying the appropriate party, certifying the amounts due to the Town and taking other action in furtherance of this section.
Under Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-75, any mobile home placed or left on a sidewalk, street, roadway, or public right-of-way is automatically classified as abandoned and as a public nuisance and hazard. A code officer is empowered to impound such a unit without prior notice to the owner or person in charge. The owner or responsible party becomes financially liable to the Town for all removal-related costs—including disconnection, transportation, and storage at $50 per day or partial day—plus an administrative fee equal to 25% of the total removal cost.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of mobile homes subject to ch. 124 § 124-75 are generally expected to ensure that no unit under their control is ever positioned on a public sidewalk, street, roadway, or right-of-way. Because the provision authorizes impoundment without advance notice, a compliant operator maintains awareness of where each unit is sited at all times and acts promptly to relocate any unit that may have shifted into a public right-of-way. Owners who allow a unit to remain in a prohibited location risk accumulating daily storage charges of $50 plus a 25% administrative surcharge on all removal costs billed by the Town.

Residents or occupants of mobile homes should be aware that under ch. 124 § 124-75, a unit positioned on a public right-of-way can be impounded by a Town code officer at any time and without prior notice. If a mobile home is impounded and costs are assessed, the person in charge of the property may be held liable for disconnection, transportation, storage fees, and a 25% administrative fee. Those who believe costs have been incorrectly assessed or that a unit was improperly classified as abandoned may wish to review the ordinance, contact the Town directly, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with local housing regulations.
