Section 127-21 of Cambria, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 establishes safety requirements for all fuel supply and storage systems in mobile home parks, covering natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and fuel oil. Each type of system must be installed and maintained according to applicable codes, equipped with proper shutoff mechanisms, and arranged to prevent accidental discharge, excessive pressure, or physical damage. LPG containers and fuel oil tanks must be secured against tipping or movement, kept outside of and at safe distances from mobile homes, and stored only in approved locations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to § 127-21 generally ensure that all gas and fuel oil piping systems are installed by qualified personnel in compliance with applicable codes and are kept in continuous good repair. Compliant park management maintains accessible, functioning shutoff valves for both natural gas and LPG systems outside each mobile home, and verifies that LPG containers meet the minimum 100-gallon gross capacity requirement and are secured against overturning. Fuel oil storage tanks should be permanently fastened, positioned at least five feet from any mobile home exit, and reviewed for fire underwriter approval, with additional protection provided for tanks in traffic-prone areas as required under § 127-21.

Under § 127-21 of Cambria's Code of Ordinances, residents of mobile home lots have the benefit of rules requiring that all fuel supply systems be safely installed, maintained, and equipped with accessible shutoff devices located outside their homes. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to violate these standards—such as unsecured LPG containers, missing shutoff valves, or improperly stored fuel tanks—they may consider documenting the issue and reporting it to the local code enforcement or health authority referenced in § 127-21. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing agencies can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available in response to apparent violations.
