Castleton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 141 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 141-10
Existing trailer camps
Operative Text
This chapter shall apply to all existing trailer camps in the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson on the date of its adoption except that trailer camps in existence prior thereto shall not be required to comply with the provisions of § 141-6B , C , D , E , F and H hereof, unless now or hereafter required so to do by order of the Rensselaer County Health Department or other federal, state or county authority. The owner or operator of any existing trailer camp shall have 60 days after this chapter becomes effective to make an application for a permit to operate such camp. Such application shall be accompanied by the fee set forth in § 141-5D . Upon payment thereof, the Village Clerk shall issue a temporary permit to operate such camp until the following December 31. Any additions, extensions or enlargements of existing camps shall comply with all the provisions of this chapter, and applications for permits to construct such additions, extensions or enlargements shall be made as provided in § 141-5 . A camp operating under such temporary permit shall be maintained and operated in compliance with all the provisions of this chapter except as they have been heretofore excused.
Section 141-10 of Castleton-on-Hudson's Code of Ordinances (ch. 141) establishes a transitional framework for trailer camps that were already operating when the chapter was adopted. These pre-existing camps are generally exempt from certain structural and layout requirements listed in § 141-6B, C, D, E, F, and H, unless a government authority such as the Rensselaer County Health Department orders otherwise. However, any expansions or additions to an existing camp must meet all current chapter requirements, and operators had 60 days from the chapter's effective date to apply for a temporary operating permit valid through December 31 of that year.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of trailer camps covered by § 141-10 should be aware that while legacy camps received partial exemptions from certain § 141-6 provisions, those exemptions can be overridden by order of the Rensselaer County Health Department or another federal, state, or county authority. Compliant operators of existing camps typically secured a temporary permit by submitting an application with the required fee to the Village Clerk within the 60-day window, and they continue to operate in accordance with all non-excused provisions of ch. 141. Any plans to add, extend, or enlarge an existing camp require full compliance with the chapter and a new permit application under § 141-5.

Residents of trailer camps in Castleton-on-Hudson can look to § 141-10 to understand the baseline operating standards their camp must meet, even if it predates the chapter's adoption. While some structural requirements under § 141-6 may have been waived for older camps, the operator is still required to maintain and operate the camp in compliance with all other provisions of ch. 141, and health authorities retain the power to impose additional requirements. Tenants who believe their camp is not being maintained in accordance with these standards may consider contacting the Rensselaer County Health Department or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
