Riverhead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 249 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 249-20
Records
Operative Text
A. Each park shall be provided with a building, to be known as the "office," in which shall be kept copies of all records pertaining to the management or supervision of the park, such records to be available for inspection by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services and by the Police Department. Records required to be maintained in the office of each park shall include copies of Riverhead Town rental permits issued pursuant to Chapter 263 for non-owner-occupied units. B. It shall be the duty of the owner, his agent or manager of each travel trailer or mobile home park to keep a register of all persons accommodated in the park, said register to include the names of all persons, their home addresses and the number and description of their automobiles or other vehicles, including the names of occupants of units which are not owner-occupied.
Section 249-20 of Riverhead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 249 requires every travel trailer or mobile home park to maintain a dedicated office where management records are kept and made available for inspection by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services and the Police Department. The office must hold copies of any Riverhead Town rental permits issued under Chapter 263 for non-owner-occupied units. Additionally, the park must keep a register listing the names and home addresses of all occupants, vehicle information, and the names of occupants in non-owner-occupied units.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 249-20, compliant park owners and managers generally designate a physical office space where all required records are organized and accessible to authorized inspectors at any time. Operators typically maintain an up-to-date guest and occupant register that captures full names, home addresses, vehicle descriptions, and the identities of occupants in non-owner-occupied units. Copies of all Riverhead Town rental permits issued under Chapter 263 for non-owner-occupied units are also kept on file in that office to satisfy the provision's documentation requirements.

Section 249-20 establishes that the park where you reside is required to maintain an office with records, including a register of occupants and copies of rental permits for non-owner-occupied units issued under Chapter 263. If you believe the park is not complying with these recordkeeping obligations—for example, if required permits are absent—you may consider raising the issue with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services or the Riverhead Town Police Department, both of which are authorized to inspect these records. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with mobile home park regulations can help you understand what options may be available under this provision.
