Operative Text
No persons shall use or park any house trailer within the Town of East Fishkill except within the limits of a duly licensed trailer park or camp. None of the provisions of this chapter, however, shall apply to the sale, storage or garaging of a house trailer or house trailers, provided the same are unoccupied and are not used for sleeping or living purposes and are not being stored in violation of the Zoning Ordinance or other ordinance of the town.
East Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 § 131-12 establishes that house trailers may only be used or parked within a properly licensed trailer park or camp inside the Town of East Fishkill. The rule does not apply to the sale, storage, or garaging of unoccupied trailers, as long as those trailers are not being used for sleeping or living and are not stored in a way that violates local zoning or other town ordinances. In effect, the provision draws a clear line between trailers kept as property or merchandise and trailers actively used as residences.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and property owners subject to ch. 131 § 131-12 generally ensure that any house trailer intended for occupancy is located within a duly licensed trailer park or camp. Those who store, sell, or garage unoccupied trailers typically confirm that those units are not being used for sleeping or living purposes and that their storage arrangement complies with the town's Zoning Ordinance and other applicable local rules. Maintaining documentation of a trailer park's licensing status and the occupancy status of stored units is a common practice for operators seeking to remain in compliance.

Under East Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 § 131-12, residents living in house trailers have a right to know that their trailer park or camp holds a valid town license, since occupancy outside such a licensed facility is not permitted. If a tenant believes their living situation may not conform to this provision — for example, if the park's licensing status is unclear — general enforcement paths include contacting the Town of East Fishkill's code enforcement office or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Tenants may also raise compliance with this section as a relevant issue in any proceeding that touches on the legality of their housing arrangement.
