Riverhead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 249 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 249-17
Entrance roads
Operative Text
All parks containing 10 or more acres in total area and/or providing for the accommodation of 150 or more mobile homes and/or travel trailers shall have at least two entrances connecting the park street system with a public road or street.
Section 249-17 of Riverhead's Code of Ordinances establishes a minimum access requirement for larger mobile home and travel trailer parks. Specifically, any park that covers 10 or more acres, or that accommodates 150 or more mobile homes and/or travel trailers, must have at least two separate entrances that connect the park's internal street system to a public road or street. This dual-entrance rule applies when either threshold — acreage or unit count — is met, not only when both are met simultaneously.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home or travel trailer parks in Riverhead should evaluate whether their property meets either of the thresholds set out in § 249-17 — 10 or more total acres, or capacity for 150 or more units. Parks that meet either threshold are generally expected to maintain at least two distinct entrance points connecting internal park roads to a public road or street. Compliant operators typically document these access points in site plans and ensure both entrances remain functional and accessible.

Section 249-17 gives residents of qualifying Riverhead mobile home and travel trailer parks a basis to expect at least two public-road access points within their community. If a park meets the acreage or unit-count threshold but appears to lack the required dual entrances, residents may consider raising this as a code compliance concern with the Town of Riverhead's relevant code enforcement or planning office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing communities can also help residents understand what options may be available under local ordinance.
