Clarence, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 135 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 135-7
Responsibilities of park management and occupants; occupancy restrictions
Operative Text
A. Responsibilities of park management. (1) The manufactured home park licensee shall operate the park in compliance with this chapter and regulations issued hereunder and shall provide adequate supervision to maintain the park, its facilities and equipment in good repair and in a clean and sanitary condition. (a) Any applicable state laws must be adhered to and uniformly applied concerning management and operation of the manufactured home park. (b) All service and out buildings shall be maintained so as to meet applicable building codes as well as maintained in good repair and in a clean and sanitary condition. (c) All abandoned homes shall be boarded up and secured in a manner acceptable to the Building Inspector or removed from the site. (2) It shall be the licensee's responsibility to notify park occupants of all applicable provisions of this chapter and inform them of their duties and responsibilities under this chapter and regulations issued hereunder. (3) The licensee shall supervise the placement of each manufactured home on its manufactured home stand which includes installing all utility connections. B. Responsibilities of park occupancy. (1) The park occupant shall comply with all applicable requirements of this chapter and regulations issued hereunder and shall maintain his/her manufactured home lot, its facilities and equipment in good repair and in a clean and sanitary condition. (2) The park occupant shall be responsible for proper placement of his/her manufactured home on its stand and proper installation of all utility connections in accordance with the instructions of the park management. C. Restrictions on occupancy. A manufactured home shall not be occupied for dwelling purposes unless it is properly placed on a manufactured home support system and connected to water, sewage and electrical facilities and receives a certificate of occupancy from the Building Inspector for each new connection.
Section 135-7 of Clarence, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 135 establishes a dual set of responsibilities for both manufactured home park licensees and their occupants. Park management must keep the park, its buildings, and equipment in good repair and sanitary condition, comply with applicable state laws, handle abandoned homes, notify occupants of their obligations, and oversee the placement and utility connections of each home. Occupants, in turn, must maintain their individual lots in good repair and sanitary condition and ensure their home is properly placed and connected to utilities — and no manufactured home may be used as a dwelling until it sits on an approved support system, is connected to water, sewage, and electrical services, and holds a certificate of occupancy from the Building Inspector.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 135-7 of Clarence's manufactured home park ordinance, compliant park licensees generally maintain all common facilities, service buildings, and equipment in good repair and sanitary condition, apply state laws uniformly across the park, and board up or remove abandoned homes to the Building Inspector's satisfaction. Licensees also typically provide written or documented notice to all occupants of their duties under ch. 135, and they supervise the placement of each manufactured home and the installation of utility connections. Operators generally ensure that no new home is occupied without first obtaining a certificate of occupancy from the Building Inspector confirming proper placement and utility hookups.

Section 135-7 of Clarence, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 135 gives occupants of manufactured home parks both rights and responsibilities: park management is required to notify you of all applicable provisions of the chapter and to supervise the proper placement of your home and its utility connections. As an occupant, you are responsible for keeping your lot, facilities, and equipment in good repair and sanitary condition, and for following management's instructions on home placement and utility installation. If you believe park management is failing to meet its obligations under § 135-7 — such as neglecting facilities or failing to inform occupants of their rights — you may consider contacting the Clarence Building Inspector's office, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether a violation of this chapter can be raised in any relevant proceeding.
