Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-2
Intent
Operative Text
Because of the special problems related to manufactured homes that are not necessarily associated with other housing types, it is necessary to provide for a separate standard for manufactured homes so as to promote the safety and health of the residents of manufactured homes and nearby residents, to encourage economical and orderly development of the Village, to promote the health, safety and general welfare and to eliminate and prevent health and safety hazards by providing standards and regulations necessary to accomplish these purposes as authorized under Article 7 of the Village Law of the State of New York.
Section 72-2 of Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 72 establishes the legislative intent behind the village's manufactured-home regulations. The provision recognizes that manufactured homes present distinct health and safety considerations compared to other housing types, and it frames the entire regulatory chapter as a response to those unique concerns. The rules are grounded in authority granted by Article 7 of New York State's Village Law, aiming to promote orderly development and prevent hazards for both manufactured-home residents and their neighbors.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of manufactured-home communities in Bath should understand that Chapter 72, beginning with § 72-2, was enacted specifically because manufactured homes are treated as a distinct housing category under local law. Compliance-minded operators generally familiarize themselves with the full chapter to understand how its health, safety, and development standards differ from those applied to conventional housing. Because the chapter's authority flows from Article 7 of New York Village Law, operators may also find it useful to review that state-level framework alongside the local ordinance.
