Athens, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 125 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 125-13
Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. Revocation of manufactured home park and trailer camp permits. (1) If the Code Enforcement Officer finds and reports to the Town Board that a manufactured home park or a trailer camp for which a permit has been issued is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or is not being operated in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, the Town Board may, by resolution, authorize the personal service upon the holder of the permit of a written order which will require the holder of the permit to correct the conditions specified in such order within 10 days after the service of such order. (2) If the holder of such permit shall refuse or fail to correct the condition or conditions specified in such order within 10 days after the personal service of such order, the Town Board may, by resolution, revoke such permit, and the holder of the permit shall thereupon terminate the operation of such manufactured home park or trailer camp. (3) However, if the owner or operator of such manufactured home park or trailer camp shall thereafter correct such conditions and bring the manufactured home park or trailer camp into compliance with this chapter, such owner may then apply for the issuance of a new permit for such park or camp, and if the application is approved and a permit is granted, the applicant shall pay to the Town Clerk the fee required by this chapter without any credit for the fee paid for the permit which was revoked. B. Revocation of permits for manufactured homes outside of manufactured home parks. (1) If the Code Enforcement Officer finds and reports to the Town Board that any manufactured home located outside a permitted manufactured home park is not being maintained in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, the Town Board may serve a written order upon the holder of the permit and/or the owner of the manufactured home and/or the owner of the premises directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied within 20 days after the date of service of the order. (2) If such condition or conditions are not corrected within 20 days, the Town Board may revoke such permit. Upon revocation of the permit, the water supply and sewage disposal system shall be disconnected and the manufactured home shall be removed from the premises.
Athens, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 125 § 125-13 establishes a two-track process for revoking permits tied to manufactured home parks, trailer camps, and individual manufactured homes located outside of parks. For parks and camps, operators receive a written order with a 10-day window to correct cited violations before the Town Board may vote to revoke the permit; for standalone manufactured homes, the correction window is 20 days. Once a park or camp permit is revoked, operations must cease, though the owner may later apply for a new permit upon coming into compliance and paying a fresh fee with no credit for the prior one. Revocation of a standalone home permit triggers disconnection of utilities and removal of the home from the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks, trailer camps, or standalone manufactured homes subject to Athens, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 125 § 125-13 generally maintain their properties in clean, sanitary condition and in full compliance with Chapter 125 at all times to avoid triggering the Code Enforcement Officer's reporting authority. Compliant operators respond promptly to any written correction order—within the 10-day window for parks and camps, or the 20-day window for standalone homes—documenting remediation steps taken. If a permit is revoked and later reinstated, operators account for the full permit fee with no offset from the previously revoked permit.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of manufactured home parks, trailer camps, or standalone manufactured homes in Athens, N.Y., should be aware that § 125-13 of Chapter 125 gives the Town Board authority to revoke an operator's or owner's permit when conditions fall out of compliance with the chapter's standards. A revocation affecting a park or camp requires the operator to cease operations, while revocation for a standalone home can result in utility disconnection and removal of the home—outcomes that directly affect residents' housing. Tenants who believe conditions at their home or park may trigger this provision can contact the Athens Code Enforcement Officer, consult local tenant-rights organizations, or seek guidance from a housing attorney to understand what options may be available.
