Inspections; occupancy
Operative Text
A. The Health Officers, Building Inspector and any other duly authorized agent or employee of the Town of Mamakating shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter any mobile home park or other premises used for the parking or location of a mobile home and shall have the right at all times to inspect all parts of said premises. B. No mobile home park shall permit the installation of a mobile home upon its premises unless and until a certificate of occupancy has been granted by the Building Inspector of the Town of Mamakating. The Inspector shall be required to make the following inspections prior to issuance: inspection prior to the pouring of the concrete slab; prior to water and septic supplies to the site are covered; and upon installation of the mobile home itself on said individual lot. The fee per inspection is $50 per pad. C. No mobile home outside a mobile home park shall be occupied unless and until a certificate of occupancy has been granted by the Building Inspector of the Town of Mamakating. D. Any new mobile home placed in a mobile home park in the Town of Mamakating after the effective date of this chapter must conform to the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. E. All mobile homes hereafter placed in the Town of Mamakating, whether inside or outside of a mobile home park, must have suitable tie-downs to withstand winds of 50 miles per hour. The tie-downs are to be designed and certified by an engineer and are to be certified for each mobile home in its location. All mobile homes located in the Town of Mamakating, whether inside or outside of mobile home parks, prior to the effective date of this chapter shall comply with these tie-down requirements within 12 months immediately following the effective date of this chapter.
Section 131-27 of Mamakating's Code of Ordinances establishes inspection and occupancy rules for mobile homes and mobile home parks in the Town of Mamakating. No mobile home may be installed in a park or occupied outside a park without a certificate of occupancy issued by the Building Inspector, and the Inspector must conduct multiple staged inspections—before concrete is poured, before utilities are covered, and upon final installation—at a fee of $50 per pad. All mobile homes in the town, whether inside or outside a park, must be equipped with engineer-designed and certified tie-downs capable of withstanding 50 mph winds, and homes present before the chapter's effective date had 12 months to come into compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 131-27, operators of mobile home parks in Mamakating must coordinate with the Building Inspector to schedule and pass all required staged inspections—covering the concrete slab, utility connections, and final installation—before any certificate of occupancy is issued, with a $50 inspection fee per pad. Park operators and individual mobile home owners alike are responsible for ensuring that all units have engineer-designed, site-certified tie-downs rated for 50 mph winds, and new installations must also conform to the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Compliant operators maintain documentation of certificates of occupancy and tie-down certifications for each unit on their premises, and they should be prepared to accommodate inspections by Health Officers, the Building Inspector, or other authorized Town agents at any reasonable time.

Section 131-27 provides that a mobile home—whether inside a park or on a standalone lot in Mamakating—cannot lawfully be occupied until the Building Inspector has issued a certificate of occupancy following the required staged inspections. Tenants have an interest in knowing that their unit holds a valid certificate of occupancy and that engineer-certified tie-downs meeting the 50 mph wind standard are in place, as these are baseline legal requirements for lawful habitation. Tenants who have concerns about whether these requirements have been met may contact the Town of Mamakating's Building Inspector's office or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
