Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-29 establishes baseline environmental and physical standards that a manufactured home park must meet.

The park must also be shielded from external nuisances such as smoke, dust, excessive noise, odors, ground subsidence, flooding risk, and erosion.

Under Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-29, operators of manufactured home parks are generally expected to evaluate site conditions before development and on an ongoing basis to confirm the land remains suitable for residential use.
