Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-35
Expansion of existing parks
Operative Text
No manufactured home park existing at the effective date of this chapter shall be expanded, except that the expanded portion shall be in full compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
Section 72-35 of Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 72 establishes that manufactured home parks that were already in existence when the chapter took effect are not permitted to grow in size unless the newly added portion fully meets all of the chapter's current requirements. The existing portion of the park is not retroactively required to comply, but any expansion is held to the full modern standard. This creates a two-tier framework within a single park: the original footprint operates under its prior status, while any added area must conform entirely to current code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Bath, N.Y., governed by § 72-35 generally ensure that any planned expansion of an existing park is designed and built in complete conformance with all provisions of Chapter 72 before breaking ground. Compliant operators typically obtain all required approvals and document that the expanded portion—distinct from the pre-existing footprint—meets current standards for layout, utilities, setbacks, and other code requirements. Keeping clear records that delineate the original park boundaries from any newly developed area helps demonstrate compliance with the chapter's two-tier structure.

Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured housing law can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available to them.
