Section 83-31 of Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 establishes a set of ongoing operational duties for the holder of a manufactured home park permit. The permit holder must keep the park's common areas, streets, facilities, and equipment in good repair and sanitary condition, inform residents of applicable rules, oversee the physical placement and securing of each manufactured home, maintain an occupant register available to inspectors, and promptly report ownership or management changes to the Town. These requirements apply for as long as the permit is in effect and are enforceable under the chapter's broader regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Sodus should be familiar with every subsection of § 83-31, as it defines the core compliance obligations attached to holding a park permit. A compliant operator generally keeps written records of all occupants and each home's make, year, and seal serial number; ensures that homes are properly placed, stabilized with tie-downs, and connected to utilities under operator supervision; and distributes information about chapter requirements to residents. Operators also maintain open communication with the Town of Sodus, reporting any changes in ownership or management without delay and keeping the occupant register accessible to authorized inspectors at all times.

Residents of manufactured home parks in Sodus benefit from the protections established under § 83-31, which obligates the park operator—not the tenant—to maintain common grounds, streets, and facilities in a clean and safe condition. The same provision requires the operator to inform occupants of their rights and responsibilities under the chapter, meaning tenants are entitled to receive that information. Tenants who believe an operator is failing to meet these duties may consider contacting the Town of Sodus directly, reviewing the chapter's complaint or inspection procedures, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
