Section 72-30 of Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 72 establishes minimum physical standards for manufactured home parks within the village.

The rules are designed to ensure safe separation of structures, adequate vehicle access, and sufficient parking throughout a park.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Bath must ensure their properties conform to the spacing, setback, parking, and street-width minimums set out in § 72-30. In practice, compliant parks maintain at least 10 feet between most units and structures (with a 6-foot rear separation or 3-foot lot-line clearance), provide at least one parking space per stand plus one additional space for every two homes, and keep internal streets at the widths specified in the ordinance. Existing parking supply may not be reduced below current levels, so any redevelopment or reconfiguration should account for that floor.

Residents of manufactured home parks in Bath, N.Y., have an interest in knowing that § 72-30 sets enforceable minimum standards for how the park must be laid out, including spacing between homes, parking availability, and road widths. If conditions in a park appear to fall short of these minimums—such as inadequate parking or structures placed too close together—tenants may consider raising the issue with the Village of Bath's local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured housing law can also help residents understand what options may be available when a park appears to be out of compliance.
