Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 104-10
Existing mobile home parks
Operative Text
This chapter shall apply to all existing mobile home parks located in the Town of Waterford on the effective date of said chapter, and such existing mobile home parks shall henceforth be maintained and operated in compliance with all of the provisions of this chapter. Any additions, extensions or enlargements of existing parks shall be made in compliance with all provisions of this chapter. The owner or operator of any existing park shall have 90 days after this chapter becomes effective to make an application pursuant to § 104-5 for a permit to operate such park.
Section 104-10 of Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 establishes that all mobile home parks already operating in the Town of Waterford when this chapter took effect are subject to its full requirements going forward. Any physical expansion of an existing park — whether an addition, extension, or enlargement — must also meet all of the chapter's standards. Owners or operators of parks that were already in existence had a 90-day window from the chapter's effective date to apply for an operating permit under § 104-5.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 104-10, operators of mobile home parks that existed when ch. 104 took effect are expected to bring their properties into full compliance with the chapter's requirements and to maintain that compliance on an ongoing basis. A compliant operator would have submitted a permit application under § 104-5 within the 90-day grace period provided by this section. Any plans to expand, extend, or enlarge an existing park would also need to satisfy all provisions of ch. 104 before work proceeds.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 104-10 means that residents of mobile home parks in Waterford that were operating before ch. 104 took effect are entitled to the same protections the chapter provides as those in any other covered park. If a park appears to be operating without the permit required by § 104-5 — which existing park owners were required to apply for within 90 days — that may be a relevant fact when raising a concern with local Town of Waterford officials. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available.
