Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-47
Permit for existing parks or communities
Operative Text
A. The owner of any mobile home park or manufactured home community existing prior to the adoption of this chapter shall apply for a mobile home park permit within one year from the date of adoption of this chapter, and such permit shall be subject to renewal every year thereafter. B. No permit for a mobile home park existing at the time of enactment of this chapter shall be expanded unless it conforms to this chapter.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-47 establishes a permitting requirement for mobile home parks and manufactured home communities that were already in operation before the chapter was adopted. Owners of such pre-existing parks must obtain a permit within one year of the chapter's adoption, and that permit must be renewed annually. Additionally, any pre-existing park that wishes to expand its footprint or capacity must first come into full compliance with the chapter's requirements before expansion is permitted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-47, operators of mobile home parks or manufactured home communities that predate the chapter's adoption are generally expected to have applied for the required permit within the one-year window and to maintain that permit through annual renewals. Compliant operators also ensure that any plans to expand an existing park are preceded by a full review of the chapter's standards, since expansion is conditioned on conformance. Keeping permit documentation current and tracking renewal deadlines are practices associated with ongoing compliance under this section.

Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-47 provides a framework that affects the legal operating status of the mobile home park or manufactured home community where a tenant resides. If a park is operating without the required permit or is expanding without meeting the chapter's standards, that may be relevant to a tenant's rights and living conditions. Tenants who have concerns about whether their park is properly permitted under this section may wish to contact the relevant Manchester municipal authority or consult a tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
