Marlborough, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 102 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 102-11
Applicability to farm labor camps
Operative Text
Mobile homes used in farm labor camps, as defined in the State of New York Sanitary Code and licensed by the Health Commissioner having jurisdiction over labor camps located in the Town of Marlborough, shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter, except for the setback provisions as set forth in § 102-4A hereof, provided that the farm laborers shall live in said premises free of all rent or expense other than heat or light. This exemption shall apply only upon the farm operator displaying annually to the Town Clerk and/or the Building Inspector the permit granted by the Health Commissioner of Ulster County having jurisdiction over such farm labor camps.
Section 102-11 of Marlborough, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 102 creates a narrow exemption from the town's mobile home regulations for mobile homes situated within licensed farm labor camps. To qualify, the farm laborers must occupy the premises without paying rent or bearing any costs beyond heat or light. Even when the exemption applies, the setback requirements of § 102-4A still govern the placement of those mobile homes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Farm operators in Marlborough who house laborers in mobile homes within a licensed farm labor camp should be aware that § 102-11 exempts those units from most provisions of ch. 102, but only if laborers are provided housing at no charge beyond heat or light. Compliant operators typically display the Ulster County Health Commissioner's permit to the Town Clerk and/or Building Inspector on an annual basis to maintain the exemption. Regardless of the exemption, the setback standards in § 102-4A continue to apply to the placement of those mobile homes.

Farm laborers living in mobile homes within a licensed farm labor camp in Marlborough may find that § 102-11 governs the conditions under which their housing is exempt from the town's general mobile home rules. A key element of that exemption is that laborers are not required to pay rent or bear expenses beyond heat or light; if charges beyond those are being imposed, the exemption's basis may be called into question. Tenants who believe their housing situation does not conform to the requirements of § 102-11 may wish to contact a tenant-rights organization or consult with the Ulster County Health Commissioner's office for information about applicable standards.
