Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-2
Purpose; intent
Operative Text
It is the purpose of this chapter to assure quality development and maintenance while promoting the health, safety, and general welfare of the inhabitants equal to that found in other types of residential areas of the Town of Manchester by the more efficient regulations of manufactured home and the manufactured home community by establishing minimum standards for the development, design and maintenance of Manufactured Home Community Districts and the expansion of preexisting mobile home parks. It is not the intent of this chapter to repeal or abrogate any part of applicable codes of New York State. The provisions of this chapter shall be enforced in addition to and in conjunction with the codes of New York State.
Section 217-2 of Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 establishes the overarching purpose of the town's manufactured home and manufactured home community regulations. The chapter aims to ensure that residents of manufactured home communities enjoy health, safety, and general welfare standards comparable to those in other residential areas of the Town of Manchester. Importantly, this chapter does not replace or cancel any applicable New York State codes; instead, it operates alongside and in addition to those state-level requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of manufactured home communities in Manchester should understand that ch. 217 § 217-2 sets a dual compliance framework: local town standards must be met at the same time as all applicable New York State codes. A compliant operator generally ensures that community design, development, and maintenance meet the minimum standards established under this chapter while also tracking and adhering to relevant state-level requirements. Because both layers of regulation apply simultaneously, property managers typically maintain familiarity with both the town ordinance and New York State codes governing manufactured housing.

Residents of manufactured home communities in Manchester, N.Y., are afforded protections under ch. 217 § 217-2, which establishes that their community must meet health, safety, and welfare standards on par with other residential areas in the town. Because this chapter operates in addition to New York State codes, tenants may have recourse under both local and state frameworks if standards are not being met. Tenants who believe conditions fall short of these standards may consider contacting the Town of Manchester's code enforcement office, reviewing applicable New York State housing protections, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
