Property owners and managers in Islip should be aware that § 54-5 prohibits occupied house trailers from being stationed on their premises unless the property is a properly authorized trailer park under ch. 54. Compliant operators generally ensure that no tenants or guests are using trailers as living quarters on non-designated land, and they familiarize themselves with the narrow exception outlined in § 54-23 before allowing any such use. Maintaining documentation of a property's authorized status as a trailer park is a common practice for operators who do permit trailer occupancy.
