Kingston Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 254 § 254-13 establishes a set of physical and locational standards for mobile homes situated outside of licensed mobile home parks. Such homes must be on lots of at least one acre, set back at least 50 feet from public road rights-of-way and adjacent property lines, and served by water and sewage systems that meet Ulster County Department of Health requirements. Only one occupied mobile home may be placed on any such parcel, and every unit must have a trailer skirt or equivalent screening to conceal its undercarriage.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators or landowners who place or allow a mobile home on property outside a licensed mobile home park must ensure compliance with each requirement of § 254-13 before the unit is occupied. This generally means confirming the parcel meets the one-acre minimum, verifying the required setbacks from roads and property lines, coordinating with the Ulster County Department of Health to approve water and sewage systems, and ensuring a trailer skirt or suitable substitute is installed. Placing more than one occupied mobile home on a single parcel outside a licensed park is not permitted under this section.

Tenants living in a mobile home outside a licensed mobile home park have an interest in knowing that § 254-13 sets baseline standards for their living situation, including adequate water supply, an approved sewage system, proper lot size and setbacks, and undercarriage screening. If any of these conditions appear to be unmet, tenants may consider contacting the Kingston Town code enforcement office or the Ulster County Department of Health to inquire about compliance. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what options may be available when a provision like § 254-13 appears not to be satisfied.
