Operative Text
A. Every mobile home park shall be under the direct management of the owner or licensee or his agent or representative. Such person or persons must be of good reputation and character and shall operate such park from an office located on the grounds, in which office shall be maintained a bound book containing a record of the names of all persons accommodated at the park, their home addresses and the make and serial numbers of their mobile homes. B. It shall be the duty of the licensee of any such park to: (1) Prohibit the storage of unsightly or combustible materials or of abandoned vehicles of any kind. (2) Provide for the cleaning, painting, repairing and maintaining of all community buildings. (3) Provide the mobile home park with adequate fire protection consisting of a hydrant or hydrants, fire hose and fire extinguishers so located that the same shall be immediately available. Such fire equipment shall be inspected by the Code Enforcement Officer at regular intervals and shall at all times meet with his approval. (4) Take such other measures which shall be deemed necessary by the Town Board, the Monroe County Health Department and the Code Enforcement Officer to preserve the health, comfort and safety of all persons accommodated in the park or the general public. (5) File with the Town Clerk of the Town of Sweden, between the first day of May and the 15th day of May in each year, a duly verified record of all mobile homes located within said park on the first day of May of each year, together with the date that such vehicle first was permitted to park therein, and with the make, model, year and size of each of said vehicles. (6) File with the Assessor within 10 days following the arrival of any mobile home the information called for in the data sheet to be furnished by the Assessor, and also notify the Assessor within 10 days following the departure of any mobile home from the park.
Sweden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 134 § 134-17 establishes a set of ongoing operational requirements for mobile home parks in the Town of Sweden. The park must be managed on-site by a qualified owner, licensee, or their representative, who must keep detailed records of residents and their homes. The licensee is also responsible for maintaining fire safety equipment, keeping the grounds free of hazardous or unsightly materials, and filing annual and event-triggered reports with both the Town Clerk and the Assessor.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sweden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 134 § 134-17, compliant mobile home park operators maintain an on-site office with a bound register of all residents, their home addresses, and mobile home details. They ensure community buildings are kept clean and in good repair, prohibit storage of combustible or abandoned materials, and keep fire suppression equipment—hydrants, hoses, and extinguishers—in a state that satisfies the Code Enforcement Officer upon regular inspection. Operators also file a verified annual inventory with the Town Clerk each May 1–15 and notify the Assessor within 10 days of any mobile home arriving at or departing from the park.

Sweden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 134 § 134-17 entitles residents of mobile home parks to a properly managed, on-site operation with functioning fire protection equipment and grounds kept free of combustible or abandoned materials. If a park appears to be falling short of these standards—such as neglected community buildings or inadequate fire equipment—residents may consider raising the matter with the Town of Sweden's Code Enforcement Officer or the Monroe County Health Department, both of which are named in the provision as having oversight authority. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing advocates can help residents understand what options may be available when a licensee is not meeting the duties outlined in this section.
