Riverhead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 249 § 249-19 establishes that certain accessory structures and community service facilities within mobile home or manufactured housing parks must meet the article's standards. These structures are those necessary for park operations and the welfare of residents, and the provision offers a non-exhaustive list of qualifying uses—ranging from water and sanitation facilities to laundry, offices, recreation areas, storage, and essential commercial services. The rule sets a baseline expectation that such facilities, wherever they exist in a park, are subject to the broader regulatory framework of the article.

Compliant operators typically inventory all such structures and confirm that each falls within the recognized categories or is otherwise justified as necessary for park management and resident welfare.
