Section 83-22 of Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 83 establishes physical installation and finishing standards for manufactured homes in the village. When a unit is placed, its tires, wheels, and hitch must be removed (where feasible), and the home must be blocked, leveled, tied down, and connected to utilities. Within 90 days of occupancy, the home must be fully skirted with materials that match the home's exterior character, any expansions or extensions must be similarly skirted and properly supported, and permanent, weather-resistant entrance steps with handrails must be installed at every door.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home communities in Sodus should ensure that each unit placed on a stand complies with the installation sequence outlined in § 83-22, including removal of transport hardware and proper anchoring before occupancy begins. Compliant park operators track the 90-day skirting deadline for each unit and verify that skirting materials present a finished appearance consistent with the home's exterior. For any expandable rooms or additions, operators generally confirm that the supporting stand meets the same construction standards as the primary home stand and that skirting is extended around those additions as well; entrance steps at every door are constructed of durable, weather-resistant materials and fitted with adequate handrails.

Under § 83-22 of Sodus's Code of Ordinances, residents of manufactured homes have an interest in ensuring their unit is properly installed, skirted within 90 days of occupancy, and equipped with safe, permanent entrance steps and handrails at every door. If these conditions are not met, tenants may have grounds to raise the violation with local code enforcement authorities in Sodus, who oversee compliance with Chapter 83. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing law can help residents understand what documentation to gather and what general options may be available when a landlord or park operator has not fulfilled these installation requirements.
