Operative Text
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: MANUFACTURED HOME A structure transportable in one or more sections that, in the traveling mode, is a minimum of eight feet in width or a minimum of 40 feet in length or, when erected on site, is a minimum of 320 square feet in floor area; a manufactured home which was built on or after June 15, 1976, on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. Plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical systems are contained in the home. The term "manufactured home" shall also include any structure that meets all the requirements of this definition except the size requirements and with respect to which the manufacturer voluntarily files a certification required by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and complies with the standards established under the National Manufactured Housing and Safety Act of 1974, as amended. The term "manufactured home" shall not include any self-propelled recreational vehicle. A manufactured home shall bear a signifying conformance to the design and construction requirements of HUD, Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, 24 CFR Part 3280. MANUFACTURED HOME PARK Any plot of land where two or more manufactured homes are located and used for living or sleeping quarters. RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) Shall include: A. MOTOR HOME A portable, temporary dwelling to be used for travel, recreation and vacation, constructed as an integral part of a self-propelled vehicle. B. TRAVEL TRAILER A portable vehicle built on a chassis, designed to be towed behind another vehicle and used as a temporary dwelling for travel, recreational and vacation use. RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK A parcel of land in which two or more spaces are provided for the occupancy of recreational vehicles.
Section 171-2 of Verona, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 171 establishes the definitions that govern how key terms are interpreted throughout the chapter. It distinguishes a 'manufactured home'—a factory-built dwelling meeting specific size, construction, and federal HUD certification standards built on or after June 15, 1976—from a 'recreational vehicle,' which is a self-propelled or towable temporary dwelling used for travel or vacation. It also defines a 'manufactured home park' as any land where two or more manufactured homes are sited for living or sleeping, and a 'recreational vehicle park' as land providing two or more spaces for RV occupancy. These definitions set the boundaries for which structures and land uses fall under the chapter's regulations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks or recreational vehicle parks in Verona should be familiar with the definitions in § 171-2, as they determine which structures and land uses are subject to the chapter's requirements. A compliant operator ensures that homes placed in a manufactured home park bear the HUD certification label required under 24 CFR Part 3280 and were constructed on or after June 15, 1976, on a permanent chassis. Operators also take care not to permit self-propelled recreational vehicles to occupy spaces designated for manufactured homes, since § 171-2 explicitly excludes RVs from the manufactured home definition. Keeping clear records of each unit's certification status helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the chapter's foundational terms.

Residents living in manufactured homes or manufactured home parks in Verona benefit from understanding the definitions in § 171-2, which determine whether their dwelling qualifies as a 'manufactured home' and therefore falls under the chapter's protections and standards. If a resident believes their home or park is being misclassified—for example, treated as an RV park rather than a manufactured home park—they may raise that definitional question when addressing any related dispute under Chapter 171. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured housing law can help residents understand how these definitions affect their rights. Consulting local code enforcement or the municipality directly is one path for clarifying how § 171-2 applies to a particular situation.
