(3) Maintain the park in a clean, orderly and sanitary condition at all times. (4) See that the provisions of this chapter are complied with and enforced and report promptly to the public health authority any communicable diseases in the park.

Section 137-9 of Chittenango's Code of Ordinances establishes operational requirements for manufactured home parks within the village. Every such park must maintain a designated office where the park license, the governing chapter, and an occupant register are kept and displayed at all times. The register must record detailed information about each occupant, their manufactured home, and any tow vehicle, and must be available for inspection by law enforcement. Park management is also required to keep the grounds clean and sanitary, maintain fire extinguishers at a ratio of one per ten units as approved by the Chittenango Fire Department, report communicable diseases to public health authorities, and prevent overcrowding beyond the park's designed capacity.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Chittenango should be aware that § 137-9 imposes specific, ongoing administrative and physical maintenance duties. A compliant operator maintains a staffed or designated office where the park license and Chapter 137 are conspicuously posted, and keeps a detailed, up-to-date register of all occupants, home details, and tow vehicle information available for law enforcement inspection at any time. Compliant operators also conduct regular sanitation upkeep, coordinate with the Chittenango Fire Department on fire extinguisher placement, promptly notify public health authorities of any communicable disease, and ensure occupancy never exceeds the park's approved design capacity.

Residents of manufactured home parks in Chittenango have an interest in knowing that § 137-9 requires park management to maintain safe, sanitary, and properly equipped conditions at all times. If a park appears to be overcrowded, lacks adequate fire extinguishers, or is not being kept in a clean and orderly condition, these may constitute violations of Chapter 137 that can be reported to village authorities or the local public health authority. Tenants who believe management is not meeting the obligations outlined in § 137-9 may wish to contact the village code enforcement office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
