Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 92 § 92-1
Definitions
Operative Text
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings assigned to them below: MOBILE HOME or HOUSE TRAILER A factory-fabricated dwelling consisting of a single structure transportable on its own chassis and wheels or removable wheel assembly, whether or not the wheels and towing hitch are removed when the unit is installed. MOBILE HOME PARK A parcel of land which is designed and improved for the placement of 10 or more mobile homes and which mobile homes are located on sites rented or leased to the occupants of the mobile homes. UNIT That portion of a mobile home park set apart for the use of an individual mobile home.
Section 92-1 of Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 92 establishes the foundational definitions that govern the rest of the chapter's mobile home regulations. A 'mobile home' or 'house trailer' is defined as a factory-built, single-structure dwelling that is transportable on its own chassis, regardless of whether the wheels and hitch remain attached after installation. A 'mobile home park' is a parcel designed for ten or more such homes on rented or leased sites, and a 'unit' refers to the individual plot within that park set aside for a single mobile home.

Operators of mobile home parks in Oneida should be familiar with the definitions established in Chapter 92, Section 92-1, because these terms set the scope of the entire chapter's requirements. A compliant park operator generally ensures that the property meets the threshold of ten or more sites and that each individually designated plot qualifies as a 'unit' under the ordinance. Understanding whether a dwelling qualifies as a 'mobile home' under this section — based on its factory-fabricated, chassis-mounted construction — is a foundational step in determining which regulations apply to a given property.
