Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and property owners subject to Chapter 249 generally ensure that mobile homes, travel trailers, and related personal property are kept off all public streets, roadways, highways, and sidewalk areas within Riverhead. Under § 249-29, liability can extend to those who permit or cause such placement, not just those who physically store the unit themselves. Compliant operators typically designate lawful on-site or off-site storage locations that do not encroach on public rights-of-way.
