Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 131-22
Mobile homes displayed for sale
Operative Text
A mobile home or mobile homes exhibited for sale and uninhabited as living quarters may be maintained outside of a licensed mobile home park. One such mobile home in a sales lot may be used as a sales office, provided that the owner thereof and/or the owner of the premises upon which it is so displayed shall install and use a sewage disposal system at least equal to that required by a two-bedroom dwelling in compliance with Chapter 155 , Sewage Disposal.
Under Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 § 131-22, mobile homes that are being offered for sale and are not occupied as residences may be kept outside of a licensed mobile home park. If one of those units on a sales lot is used as a sales office, the rule requires that a sewage disposal system meeting at least the standard for a two-bedroom dwelling — as defined by Chapter 155, Sewage Disposal — be installed and operational. The provision draws a clear line between uninhabited display units and any unit put to active office use, triggering sanitation requirements only in the latter case.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and property owners displaying mobile homes for sale under ch. 131 § 131-22 generally ensure that any unit kept solely as an uninhabited display model remains unoccupied as living quarters to qualify for placement outside a licensed park. When a unit on the sales lot is converted to serve as a sales office, compliant operators install a sewage disposal system that meets or exceeds the Chapter 155 standard applicable to a two-bedroom dwelling before that unit is put into office use. Both the owner of the mobile home and the owner of the premises share responsibility for meeting this sewage disposal requirement, so coordination between those parties is a routine part of compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For individuals living near or considering a mobile home community, ch. 131 § 131-22 establishes that display-only units kept outside a licensed park must remain uninhabited, and that any sales-office unit must be supported by an adequate sewage disposal system under Chapter 155. If a unit appears to be occupied as living quarters outside a licensed park, or if a sales-office unit lacks proper sanitation infrastructure, those conditions may be raised with the relevant Mamakating municipal authority responsible for code enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home regulations can help individuals understand how this provision interacts with broader habitability and licensing rules.
