Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-31
Older homes prohibited
Operative Text
No mobile home manufactured prior to 1976 shall be permitted to be placed on any individual lot or in any mobile home park.
Section 98-31 of Spencer, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances establishes a manufacturing-date cutoff for mobile homes: any unit built before 1976 is prohibited from being placed on an individual lot or within a mobile home park in the jurisdiction. This rule applies regardless of the home's condition or any renovations it may have undergone. The restriction is tied to the date of manufacture, not the date of installation or purchase.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Spencer Code § 98-31, operators of mobile home parks and owners of individual lots are generally expected to verify the manufacture date of any mobile home before allowing it to be sited on their property. Accepting a pre-1976 unit would place the lot or park in violation of this provision. Keeping documentation of each home's manufacture date on file is a common practice for demonstrating ongoing compliance.
