Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-46
Fuel oil supply systems
Operative Text
All fuel oil supply systems provided for mobile homes, service buildings and other structures shall be installed and maintained in conformity with New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and generally accepted standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
Section 98-46 of Spencer, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances requires that fuel oil supply systems serving mobile homes, service buildings, and other structures in the jurisdiction meet two overlapping standards: the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the generally accepted standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The rule applies both at the time of installation and on an ongoing maintenance basis. Neither a one-time compliant installation nor routine upkeep alone is sufficient — both are required throughout the life of the system.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks and related facilities in Spencer should ensure that any fuel oil supply system covered under § 98-46 is installed by qualified personnel familiar with both the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and applicable NFPA standards. Ongoing maintenance programs typically include periodic inspections, prompt repair of deficiencies, and documentation that systems continue to meet both sets of standards. Keeping records of installation specifications and maintenance activity can help demonstrate continuous compliance with § 98-46's dual requirements.

Under § 98-46 of Spencer's Code of Ordinances, residents of mobile homes have a right to fuel oil supply systems that are properly installed and kept in conformance with state fire and building codes as well as NFPA standards. If a fuel oil system appears to be improperly installed or poorly maintained, tenants may consider reporting the condition to the local code enforcement office or fire marshal, who have authority to inspect and require corrective action. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord fails to maintain systems as § 98-46 requires.
