Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-11
Washing animals or vehicles
Operative Text
No animal washing, car washing or other slop-creating practices shall be carried on at any individual house trailer site or at any building, structure, tent, vehicle or any other place within the house trailer park not designed and approved for such purposes.
Section 54-11 of Islip's Code of Ordinances prohibits washing animals, washing vehicles, or engaging in other activities that generate slop or wastewater runoff at individual trailer sites or anywhere within a house trailer park that has not been specifically designed and approved for such purposes. The rule is intended to channel these activities to designated, approved areas rather than allowing them to occur at random locations throughout the park. Only spaces that have been formally approved for these uses may be used for washing or similar messy activities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Islip Code § 54-11, operators of house trailer parks are generally expected to designate and obtain approval for specific areas where animal washing, car washing, and similar slop-generating activities may take place. Compliant park managers typically communicate these designated locations clearly to residents and ensure that no individual trailer site is used for such purposes. Maintaining proper facilities and clear signage helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 54-11 of Islip's Code of Ordinances means that residents of house trailer parks do not have the right to wash vehicles or animals at their individual sites unless that site or another location in the park has been officially designated and approved for such use. If a tenant believes the park lacks any approved facility for these activities, or that enforcement of this rule is being applied inconsistently, they may consider contacting the Town of Islip's relevant code enforcement office to ask about approved locations. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can also help residents understand how this provision applies in a park setting.
