Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of mobile home parks in Liberty must ensure their parks conform to every dimension, density, and infrastructure standard set out in § 100-6, including maintaining a minimum five-acre site, limiting lots to seven per acre, observing all setback distances, providing adequate utilities meeting New York State Department of Health requirements, and supplying two off-street parking spaces per lot. Compliant operators also maintain a register of all residents and home registration numbers, keep it available for inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer, Town Planning Board, Town Board, or Town Assessor, and retain those records for at least seven years.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of mobile home parks in Liberty are protected by the minimum living-environment standards established in § 100-6, which require park owners to provide properly drained sites, adequate water and sewer connections, garbage disposal, weatherproof electrical service, common open space, and safe road access. If conditions in a park appear to fall short of these standards—such as stagnant water, inadequate utilities, or missing parking—tenants may raise those conditions as potential violations of this provision. General enforcement paths include contacting the Town of Liberty Code Enforcement Officer, who is authorized under § 100-6 to inspect park registers and oversee compliance, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
