Cochecton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 150-2
Definitions
Operative Text
For the purpose of this chapter, the following words, terms and phrases shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section: MANUFACTURED HOME A transportable single-family dwelling unit intended for permanent occupancy, which arrives at a site complete and ready for occupancy except for minor and incidental unpacking and assembly operations, and constructed on a chassis so that it might be towed, not including a modular or sectional dwelling, recreational vehicle or travel trailer. MANUFACTURED HOME LOT A designated site of specific total land area which is located within a manufactured home park for the accommodation of one manufactured home and its occupants. MANUFACTURED HOME PAD A durable surface located on a manufactured home lot which is capable of supporting and which is used for placement of a manufactured home. MANUFACTURED HOME PARK A parcel or contiguous parcels of land which has been designated and improved for the purpose of placing three or more manufactured homes for occupancy as single-family dwellings, including any subdivision or land development created for such purpose.
Section 150-2 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances establishes the foundational definitions used throughout Chapter 150, which governs manufactured home parks. The provision distinguishes a 'manufactured home' (a chassis-built, transportable single-family dwelling intended for permanent occupancy) from related structures such as modular homes, recreational vehicles, and travel trailers. It also defines the physical components of a manufactured home park, including the lot (the designated land area for one home), the pad (the durable surface on which the home sits), and the park itself (a parcel improved to accommodate three or more manufactured homes).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of manufactured home parks in Cochecton should be familiar with the definitions set out in § 150-2, as these terms govern how the rest of Chapter 150 applies to their properties. A compliant park operator generally ensures that the structures placed on lots meet the definition of 'manufactured home' rather than recreational vehicles or travel trailers, which are explicitly excluded. Understanding the distinction between a lot, a pad, and the park as a whole helps operators apply the chapter's requirements to the correct physical components of their property.

Residents of manufactured home parks in Cochecton benefit from knowing that § 150-2 defines the type of dwelling and community covered by Chapter 150's protections and requirements. If a dispute arises about whether a particular structure or site qualifies under the chapter, these definitions establish the baseline for what counts as a manufactured home, lot, pad, or park. Tenants who believe their housing situation falls within these definitions and have concerns about their rights may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York manufactured home park regulations.
