Wheatfield, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 114 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 114-9
Supplemental regulations
Operative Text
A. It shall be unlawful to increase the living or storage space of any mobile home licensed hereunder or located in a duly licensed mobile home court without first obtaining a permit from the enforcement officer. This shall not preclude or prohibit the erection of a storm shelter or seasonal enclosure thereon, provided that a permit is secured therefor, and provided that storage space is not afforded in the storm shed. Awnings or canopies may be attached to mobile homes and an outdoor, unenclosed patio may be constructed to the rear of the front setback without securing permits therefor. B. No occupied mobile home shall be located in any area other than on a lot in a mobile home court. C. Mobile home courts shall at all times be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and with any other requirements imposed as a condition of granting a license or the renewal thereof. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to abrogate any of the provisions of the Niagara County Health Department or of the Public Health Law of the State of New York, as the same now provide or as the same may hereafter be amended. In the event of inconsistencies existing between the provisions of this chapter and said code or law, said code or law shall govern. D. From the effective date of this chapter, no mobile home court, park or camp in existence on the effective date of this chapter in the Town of Wheatfield shall be expanded, enlarged or extended in any way, unless such expansion is in full compliance with the provisions of this chapter, and which premises and mobile home occupancy, upon inspection by the enforcement officer, are determined to be eligible for a license as a duly licensed mobile home court in the Town of Wheatfield.
Wheatfield, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 114 § 114-9 establishes several supplemental rules governing mobile homes and mobile home courts. Expanding the living or storage space of a licensed mobile home requires a permit, though awnings, canopies, and open rear patios are exempt from that requirement. Occupied mobile homes must be sited on lots within licensed mobile home courts, those courts must be kept clean and sanitary at all times, and any expansion of an existing court must fully comply with the chapter's requirements and pass inspection.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 114-9, operators of mobile home courts in Wheatfield are generally expected to obtain permits before any living or storage space is added to a unit, and to ensure that any court expansion is inspected and approved by the enforcement officer before proceeding. Compliant operators keep their courts clean and sanitary in line with both this chapter and applicable Niagara County Health Department and New York State Public Health Law requirements, with the latter governing in any conflict. Routine attachments such as awnings, canopies, and unenclosed rear patios do not require permits, but storm shelters and seasonal enclosures do, and those structures may not double as storage space.

Section 114-9 of Wheatfield's Code of Ordinances provides that occupied mobile homes must be located on lots within a duly licensed mobile home court, giving tenants a basis to raise concerns if their home is sited outside such a court. The provision also requires courts to be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition at all times, and Niagara County Health Department standards apply concurrently, meaning tenants may have avenues through county health authorities if sanitary conditions fall short. Tenants who believe these standards are not being met may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the complaint processes available through local or county enforcement channels.
