Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 252 § 252-25 establishes two main requirements for parking lots at multi-unit housing properties. First, all parking areas must be clearly marked and those markings kept legible at all times, with the possibility that the Planning Board must approve the markings as directed by the Code Enforcement Officer. Second, property owners are responsible for removing snow and ice from parking areas and roadways on their property, and that snow or ice may not be deposited onto public rights-of-way, while sight lines at every entrance and exit must remain clear of snow as required by the Town's Zoning chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multi-unit housing in Manchester should ensure that parking lot striping and signage required under § 252-25 are repainted or refreshed whenever they become faded or illegible, and should confirm with the Code Enforcement Officer whether Planning Board approval is needed for any new or revised markings. A snow and ice removal plan that addresses parking areas, internal roadways, and ingress/egress sight distances is a standard part of compliant property management under this provision. Owners should also verify that their snow-clearing practices never result in snow being pushed onto the public right-of-way, as that is explicitly prohibited by § 252-25.

Tenants living in multi-unit housing in Manchester may find § 252-25 relevant if parking areas are poorly marked or if snow and ice are not being cleared from parking lots, internal roads, or building entrances and exits. This provision places the removal obligation squarely on the property owner, and a tenant who observes non-compliance can report the condition to the Town's Code Enforcement Officer. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what documentation to gather and what municipal channels are available for raising concerns under ch. 252 § 252-25.
