Section 93-50 of Waverly, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 93 establishes minimum design and construction standards for manufactured homes placed within the jurisdiction.

Together, these requirements are intended to ensure that a manufactured home remains safe, weathertight, and stable throughout its use.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 93-50, operators and owners of manufactured home parks or lots in Waverly are generally expected to verify that any home placed on a stand meets the structural, insulation, chassis, and placement standards described in the ordinance. Compliant operators typically document that roofs are weathertight and properly pitched, that framing is surface-treated or painted against deterioration, and that the home is secured on jacks or supports to maintain a fixed position. Keeping records of inspections and material specifications can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with Chapter 93's design and construction requirements.

Section 93-50 of Waverly's Code of Ordinances gives residents of manufactured homes a baseline set of construction and placement standards their home is expected to meet, covering everything from roof drainage and insulation to chassis integrity and stable placement on a stand. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short of these standards—such as structural deterioration, inadequate weatherproofing, or an unstable foundation—they may have grounds to raise a violation under Chapter 93 with the appropriate local code enforcement authority. Tenants can also consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to better understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
