Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 220 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 220-12
Right to inspect records
Operative Text
A. Every licensee or applicant for a license has the right to inspect, review or receive copies of the records pertaining to a manufactured home community during the regular hours of business at the office of the Public Safety Administrator pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law. B. In an instance where it is believed that the records of the Public Safety Administrator contain incorrect or incomplete information, a written notice may be given to the Public Safety Administrator of the correct or missing information, and said notice shall be incorporated into the files maintained by the Public Safety Administrator.
Section 220-12 of Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 220 establishes that anyone who holds or is applying for a manufactured home community license has a formal right to access records held by the Public Safety Administrator, including the ability to review or obtain copies during regular business hours under the Freedom of Information Law. The provision also creates a mechanism for correcting the official record: if information in those files is believed to be wrong or missing, a written notice describing the accurate information can be submitted and must be incorporated into the Public Safety Administrator's files. This rule ensures both transparency in the licensing process and a pathway for maintaining accurate government records.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and applicants subject to Southampton, N.Y., Code ch. 220 § 220-12 generally stay informed by periodically reviewing the records the Public Safety Administrator maintains about their manufactured home community. Compliant operators also monitor those records for accuracy and, when they identify incorrect or incomplete information, submit a written notice to the Public Safety Administrator so the correction becomes part of the official file. Keeping documentation of any such notices is a common practice that supports an accurate and up-to-date licensing record.
