Section 174-15 of Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 establishes minimum physical standards for individual mobile home lots within a mobile home park. Each lot must include a stable, properly positioned stand to hold the mobile home in place, along with durable accessory structures, safely accessible patios, and conveniently located storage lockers.

Operators of mobile home parks in Walden are generally expected to ensure that each lot meets the construction and utility standards set out in § 174-15. Compliant park management typically involves maintaining compacted, properly graded stands; inspecting accessory structures for durability; and verifying that all utility connections—water, sewer, electrical, and gas—are accessible, weatherproof, and free of cross-connections or drainage deficiencies. Keeping documentation of inspections and any upgrades made to stands and utility hookups helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with ch. 174 § 174-15.
