Operators of camp cottages, tent houses, cabins, trailer camps, or similar seasonal or temporary residential structures in Sloatsburg should ensure their properties comply with § 227-16 of Chapter 227. Compliant operators generally design and maintain exit pathways that are wide and unobstructed, install the required number of fire extinguishers based on floor area or trailer count, and keep all extinguishers readily accessible and in serviceable condition. Because the provision explicitly allows inspection at any time, operators commonly maintain ongoing documentation of extinguisher maintenance and readiness.
