Lysander, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 195 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 195-10
Soil and ground cover
Operative Text
A. Ground surfaces in all parts of a mobile home park shall be protected with a vegetative growth capable of preventing soil erosion and the emanation of dust during dry weather or, as an alternative, paved or covered with stone screenings or other solid material. B. Mobile home park grounds shall be maintained free of vegetative growth which is poisonous or which may harbor rodents, insects or other pests harmful to man.
Lysander, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 195 § 195-10 establishes two related ground-cover requirements for mobile home parks. First, all ground surfaces must be stabilized—either through living vegetation that prevents erosion and dust, or through paving, stone screenings, or comparable solid material. Second, the park grounds must be kept clear of any plant growth that is toxic or that could shelter rodents, insects, or other pests dangerous to people.

Under ch. 195 § 195-10, compliant mobile home park operators generally ensure that every exposed ground surface is covered with healthy grass or other erosion-resistant vegetation, or is paved or surfaced with stone screenings or equivalent material. Operators also conduct regular inspections to identify and remove poisonous plants and overgrown vegetation that could harbor rodents, insects, or other harmful pests. Maintaining documentation of ground-cover maintenance and pest-related vegetation removal is a practice commonly associated with ongoing compliance.

Section 195-10 of Lysander's Code of Ordinances gives residents of mobile home parks an interest in properly maintained ground surfaces—both to prevent dust and erosion and to eliminate vegetation that could be toxic or attract pests. If a park's grounds appear to violate these standards, tenants may report concerns to the appropriate local code enforcement office in Lysander. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help residents understand what documentation to gather and what general options may be available to them.
