Albion Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 179 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 179-23
Mobile home stands
Operative Text
The area of the mobile home stand shall be improved to provide an adequate foundation for the placement and tie-down of the mobile home, thereby securing the superstructure against uplift sliding, rotation and overturning. A. The mobile home stand shall not heave, shift or settle unevenly under the weight of the mobile home or due to frost action, inadequate drainage, vibration or other forces acting on the superstructure. The mobile home stand shall be either drilled piers or trench footers in accordance with the specifications hereinafter set forth: (1) Such drilled piers shall be: (a) Constructed of cast in place concrete having a minimum load-carrying capacity of 3,000 pounds per square inch; (b) A diameter of not less than 18 inches; (c) A depth of not less than 42 inches; and (d) Spaced at intervals of not more than eight feet to 10 feet and centered to the mobile home frame rails. (2) Such trench footers shall be: (a) Constructed of cast in place concrete have a load-carrying capacity of not less than 3,000 pounds per square inch; (b) A width of not less than 18 inches; (c) A depth of not less than 42 inches; (d) Spaced at intervals of not more than eight feet to 10 feet; and (e) Of sufficient length to accommodate the width of the mobile home frame rails. B. The mobile home stand shall be provided with anchors and tie-downs such as cast-in-place concrete "dead men," eyelets imbedded in concrete foundations. All anchors shall meet the requirements of state and local codes. C. Anchors and tie-downs shall be placed at least at each corner of the mobile home stand, and each shall be able to sustain a minimum tensile strength of 2,800 pounds.
Section 179-23 of Albion Village's Code of Ordinances establishes detailed structural requirements for mobile home stands within the village. The rule mandates that each stand be built on either drilled piers or trench footers made of cast-in-place concrete capable of bearing at least 3,000 pounds per square inch, with minimum dimensions and spacing specified for each type. The stand must also be equipped with anchors and tie-downs—such as concrete 'dead men' or embedded eyelets—placed at each corner and capable of sustaining at least 2,800 pounds of tensile strength, ensuring the home is protected against uplift, sliding, rotation, and overturning.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Albion Village must ensure that every mobile home stand complies with the foundation and anchoring standards set out in § 179-23. A compliant stand is constructed using either drilled piers or trench footers meeting the specified concrete strength, diameter or width, depth, and spacing requirements before a mobile home is placed. Park operators also verify that tie-down anchors are installed at each corner of the stand and that all anchor hardware meets the tensile strength threshold and any applicable state and local codes referenced in § 179-23.

Residents of mobile home parks in Albion Village have an interest in knowing that § 179-23 entitles them to a properly engineered stand beneath their home—one designed to prevent settling, shifting, or structural failure. If a stand appears to be sinking, shifting unevenly, or lacks visible anchoring at the corners, this provision may be relevant to any complaint or inspection request filed with local code enforcement authorities. Tenants who believe their stand does not meet the requirements of § 179-23 may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or consulting with an attorney to understand available options.
