Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-58
Permanency
Operative Text
No factory manufactured home shall be installed without the intent of permanency given a stick-built home. Any chassis, wheels or framework used in transporting any factory manufactured home to any building lot shall be removed.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-58 establishes that factory manufactured homes placed on building lots must be treated as permanent structures, equivalent in intent to traditionally constructed homes. The provision requires that any chassis, wheels, or framework used to transport the manufactured home to the lot be removed after installation. The rule effectively prohibits the placement of manufactured homes in a manner that would allow them to remain mobile or temporary in character.

Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-58, operators and property owners who install factory manufactured homes on building lots are generally expected to remove all transport components — including chassis, wheels, and framework — before or upon completion of installation. Compliant operators treat the installed manufactured home with the same permanency standards applied to stick-built construction. Maintaining documentation of the removal process can help demonstrate compliance with the permanency requirement.

Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-58 establishes that a manufactured home on a building lot must be installed as a permanent structure, with all transport hardware removed. Tenants residing in a manufactured home have an interest in knowing whether the home was installed in compliance with this permanency standard, as it can affect the home's legal status on the lot. Those with questions about whether a specific installation meets this requirement may wish to contact the local code enforcement office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with manufactured housing regulations.
