Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-32 establishes the framework for inspecting and enforcing compliance within manufactured home communities and mobile home parks. Enforcement officers, their inspectors, and the New York State Department of Health are authorized to enter these communities at reasonable times, generally after giving prior notice to the operator, or without prior notice in emergency situations. The rule places responsibility on owners, agents, and operators to provide inspectors with access to all parts of the premises under their control.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 217-32, operators and owners of manufactured home communities or mobile home parks are expected to cooperate fully with enforcement officers and their inspectors by providing access to all areas of the premises within their control. Compliant operators typically maintain open communication with inspectors, respond promptly to scheduled inspection requests, and ensure that all parts of the property are accessible during visits conducted at reasonable times. Because emergency inspections can occur without prior notice when public safety is at stake, operators generally keep their properties in a condition that can withstand unannounced review.

Residents who believe their community is not meeting code standards may have grounds to request that enforcement officers conduct an inspection, or they may contact the New York State Department of Health to report concerns.
