Cochecton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 150-9
Exceptions
Operative Text
None of the provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to the following: A. The business of manufactured home sales, except that, where units are used as living quarters, they shall conform with the provisions of this chapter. B. The storage of an unoccupied manufactured home; provided, however, that such unoccupied manufactured home shall not be parked or located between the street line and the front building line of any premises or within any required yard area. C. A manufactured home located on the site of a construction project, survey project or other similar work project which is used solely as a field office or workhouse or toolhouse in connection with such project, provided that such manufactured home is removed from such site within 30 days after the completion of such project. D. A modular house or manufactured home, other than a double-wide manufactured home, which is prefabricated in sections, transported to the building site, then fastened together and anchored to a permanent and totally enclosed masonry foundation and which has a minimum width of 24 feet for its entire length and contains a minimum of 960 square feet of usable living space.
Section 150-9 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances Chapter 150 carves out four categories of manufactured homes that are exempt from the chapter's general requirements. Manufactured home sales businesses are largely exempt, though units actually used as living quarters must still comply. Unoccupied stored homes, temporary on-site work-project homes removed within 30 days of project completion, and certain prefabricated modular homes meeting specific size and foundation standards are also excluded from the chapter's rules.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and property managers working with manufactured homes in Cochecton should be aware that Section 150-9 defines the boundaries of Chapter 150's applicability. A compliant operator distinguishes between inventory held purely for sale versus units occupied as residences, ensures any stored unoccupied home is not placed between the street line and the front building line or within required yard areas, and removes temporary work-site units within 30 days of project completion. Operators dealing with prefabricated modular homes that meet the 24-foot minimum width, 960-square-foot minimum living space, and permanent enclosed masonry foundation criteria generally understand those units fall outside the chapter's scope.

If you are living in a manufactured home in Cochecton, Section 150-9 is important context for understanding which homes are covered by Chapter 150's protections and which are not. Notably, even homes that might otherwise qualify for a sales-business exemption must still conform to the chapter's provisions when they are used as actual living quarters, meaning tenants in such units may retain the chapter's protections. Tenants who believe their home has been improperly classified as exempt from Chapter 150 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full ordinance to understand available options.
