Alden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 235 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 235-23
Restrictions on occupancy
Operative Text
A manufactured home shall not be occupied for dwelling purposes unless it is properly placed on a manufactured home stand and connected to water, sewerage and electrical utilities.
Section 235-23 of Alden, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances establishes that a manufactured home may only be used as a residence once it has been properly positioned on a designated manufactured home stand and fully connected to water, sewerage, and electrical utilities. The rule ties lawful occupancy directly to the completion of these site-preparation and utility-connection steps. A manufactured home that lacks any one of these elements is not considered legally occupied for dwelling purposes under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of manufactured home communities in Alden should ensure that every home site covered by Chapter 235, Section 235-23 includes a properly prepared manufactured home stand before a resident moves in. A compliant operator confirms that water, sewerage, and electrical utility connections are fully established and functional prior to allowing occupancy. Maintaining documentation of stand placement and utility hookups for each unit supports ongoing compliance with this provision.

Under Alden, N.Y. Code ch. 235 § 235-23, a manufactured home is only lawfully occupied when it sits on a proper stand and has active water, sewerage, and electrical connections — meaning residents have a basis to expect these conditions to be met before they take up residence. If a home lacks any of these required elements, that gap may be relevant to habitability concerns or local code-enforcement proceedings. Tenants who believe their home does not meet the requirements of § 235-23 may consider contacting Alden's local code enforcement office or a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
