Cochecton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 150-11
Existing manufactured home parks
Operative Text
A. A manufactured home park which is lawfully in existence prior to the enactment of this chapter may continue to be used and operated as a manufactured home, provided: (1) The owner or lessee shall, within six months from the effective date of this chapter, apply for a license pursuant to the provisions of §§ 150-3 , 150-4 and 150-5 hereof and pay the fees as provided. (2) The park complies with Subsections G(3) through (5), I(3) and K of § 150-6 of this chapter. B. The license shall thereupon be issued even though the park does not otherwise comply with the remaining provisions of this chapter. C. Additions and improvements to a park shall not be made, and manufactured homes shall not be added to a manufactured home park, unless said additions and improvements completely comply with this chapter. D. Within one year from the enactment of this chapter, existing manufactured home parks shall comply with all provisions of this chapter, except those which relate to features of initial design and therefore cannot be changed.
Section 150-11 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances establishes a transitional framework for manufactured home parks that were legally operating before this chapter took effect. Such parks may continue operating under a provisional license, but only if the owner or lessee applies for that license within six months of the chapter's effective date and meets certain baseline standards drawn from § 150-6. Within one year of enactment, existing parks must come into full compliance with all provisions of the chapter, except those tied to original design features that are physically impossible to change retroactively. Any new additions, improvements, or added manufactured homes must comply with the chapter in full from the outset.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks that predate Cochecton Code ch. 150 § 150-11 generally apply for a license within the six-month window specified in the provision, paying the required fees and meeting the baseline standards referenced in §§ 150-3, 150-4, 150-5, and the relevant subsections of § 150-6. Compliant operators also track the one-year deadline for bringing the park into full conformance with the chapter, documenting which features qualify as original design elements that cannot practicably be altered. When planning any expansion or improvement, operators ensure that all additions and any newly placed manufactured homes fully satisfy every requirement of ch. 150 before work begins.

Residents of existing manufactured home parks in Cochecton should be aware that § 150-11 requires park operators to obtain a proper license and meet baseline safety and operational standards within defined deadlines after this chapter's enactment. If a park appears to be operating without a license or has failed to meet the one-year compliance deadline, tenants may have grounds to raise those issues with local code enforcement or municipal authorities in Cochecton. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured housing law can help residents understand what protections and remedies may be available under ch. 150 and related state law.
