Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-76
Removal of mobile home
Operative Text
(A) Mobile homes used as temporary residences shall be removed no later than ten (10) days of the issuance of a certificate of completion, certificate of occupancy or other final approval evidencing that the repair or replacement work resulting from the casualty has been completed to state and local standards, and the main building is habitable. Failure to remove the mobile home shall be deemed a violation of this chapter. (B) In the judgment of the Director of Engineering Services, the owner or person-in-charge of property may retain a mobile home on the lot beyond ten (10) days, if actions to remove the mobile home have been started and the delay, if any, is not under the control of or due to the conduct of the property owner, person-in-charge of or having an interest in the property. (C) No mobile home shall be in place for a period of time greater than approved by the Director of Engineering Services. Any mobile home not so removed shall be deemed to be in violation of this chapter and shall be removed by the town, upon reasonable notice, and the costs of disconnecting and removing the mobile home from the property, 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 shall be borne by the owner or person-in-charge of the property. 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 actions in furtherance of this chapter.
Section 124-76 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 governs the removal of mobile homes that were placed on a property as temporary housing following a casualty event. Once the main building has been restored and a certificate of completion, certificate of occupancy, or equivalent final approval is issued, the mobile home must be removed within ten days. If it is not removed in time, the town may step in to remove it and charge the property owner for all associated costs—including disconnection, transportation, storage at $50 per day, and an administrative fee equal to 25% of the total removal cost.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under § 124-76 of Huntington's Code generally track the issuance of any certificate of completion or certificate of occupancy tied to casualty repair work, since that date starts the ten-day removal clock for any temporary mobile home on the lot. If removal cannot be completed within ten days due to circumstances outside the owner's control, a compliant operator typically initiates removal actions promptly and seeks an extension from the Director of Engineering Services before the deadline passes. Allowing the deadline to lapse without authorization exposes the property owner to town-initiated removal and liability for all direct costs plus a 25% administrative surcharge under this section.

Section 124-76 establishes that a mobile home placed on a property as temporary housing after a casualty is not intended to be a permanent arrangement, and the timeline for its removal is tied to when the main dwelling is officially deemed habitable. Tenants who believe a mobile home is being kept on a property beyond the period authorized by the Director of Engineering Services may raise that concern as a potential violation of this chapter with the relevant Huntington town authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand how this provision interacts with their broader housing situation.
