Scope
Operative Text
This Part 2 shall apply to mobile homes used, or intended to be used, for year-round dwelling accommodations in fixed locations and to mobile home courts.
Section 186-52 of Massena's Code of Ordinances defines the scope of Part 2 by limiting its application to mobile homes that are used, or intended to be used, as year-round residences in fixed locations, as well as to the mobile home courts where such homes are situated. The provision does not extend to mobile homes used only seasonally or those that remain in transit. Understanding this scope is essential for determining whether other requirements within Part 2 apply to a given property or living arrangement.

Operators of mobile home courts and owners of mobile homes used as permanent, fixed-location dwellings in Massena should be aware that the obligations set out in Part 2 of Chapter 186 apply directly to their properties under § 186-52. Compliant operators generally confirm whether their units meet the 'year-round dwelling in a fixed location' threshold before assessing which Part 2 requirements govern their operations. Properties or units that fall outside this scope—such as those used only temporarily or kept mobile—would not be subject to Part 2's provisions.
