A. Issuance or renewal of permit. Upon determination by the Town Board, after inspection and public hearing, that the applicant meets the provisions of this chapter and the provisions of the applicant's compliance schedule, if any, the Town Board will grant or renew a written permit for up to one year, the term expiring on March 31. If applicable, the permit shall contain a compliance schedule as provided for in Subsection C of this section. The applicant will receive written notice of such approval in the form of a valid permit. B. Denial of permit. If the Town Board determines after public hearing and review of the inspector's report that the applicant is not in compliance with the requirements of this chapter or the provisions set forth in the applicant's compliance schedule, if any, issuance or renewal of the permit may be denied. The applicant will receive written notice of the denial and the reasons therefor from the Town Clerk. An applicant that creates, maintains or operates a freestanding mobile home or a mobile home community without a permit shall be subject to the penalties set forth in § 174-4-1 . C. Permit subject to compliance schedule. The Town Board may, at its discretion, issue a permit renewal, subject to various terms, where the Town Board determines that the applicant is not in compliance with the requirements of this chapter or conditions set forth in applicant's current compliance schedule. In consideration of the issuance of a compliance schedule and the designation of condition(s) the Town Board may require the submission of a guaranteed survey for any portion(s) of the mobile home community believed, based upon the report of the inspector, to be in violation of any provision of this chapter or of any previous compliance schedule. The conditions shall be set forth in a compliance schedule annexed to the permit. Such conditions shall comply with the following: (1) Designation of conditions. A condition may be designated only if all of the following requirements are satisfied: (a) The condition poses no threat to the health and safety of the occupants of a freestanding mobile home, the residents of a mobile home community or others. (b) Extreme practical difficulty or hardship will result from the enforcement of immediate compliance with this chapter of the Code. (c) The provision of law which forms the basis for noncompliance was adopted subsequent to the installation of the mobile home community or freestanding mobile home and such mobile home community or freestanding mobile home has been in continuous use and occupancy subsequent to said adoption. (2) Time schedule. A compliance schedule for a condition shall not exceed three years. (3) Assignability. A compliance schedule is not transferable or assignable. (4) Modification or repeal of a condition or compliance schedule. A condition or compliance schedule may be modified or repealed upon the recommendation by the town inspector and the determination of the Town Board that such modification or repeal is necessary for compliance with any and all provisions of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or other federal, state, county or town regulations.

Plain English

East Hampton Town Code § 174-2-2 establishes the process by which the Town Board issues, renews, or denies annual operating permits for freestanding mobile homes and mobile home communities. Permits run for up to one year, expiring March 31, and are granted only after inspection and a public hearing confirm the applicant meets chapter requirements. Where full compliance is not yet achieved, the Town Board may attach a compliance schedule to a permit renewal, provided the noncompliance poses no health or safety threat, causes genuine hardship, and stems from a law adopted after the mobile home was installed. Operating without a permit exposes an applicant to the penalties described in § 174-4-1.

For Property Managers

Operators of mobile home communities or freestanding mobile homes in East Hampton must secure an annual permit under § 174-2-2 by satisfying inspection requirements and participating in a public hearing before the Town Board each permit cycle. Compliant operators maintain current documentation, respond promptly to inspector reports, and ensure their properties meet all chapter standards before the March 31 expiration date. Where a compliance schedule is attached to a permit, operators generally track each condition carefully, since schedules run no longer than three years, are not transferable, and can be modified or repealed by the Town Board on the inspector's recommendation.

For Tenants

Residents of mobile home communities or freestanding mobile homes in East Hampton benefit from § 174-2-2's requirement that operators hold a valid, annually renewed permit demonstrating compliance with health, safety, and code standards. If a permit is denied or a compliance schedule is imposed, tenants may review the Town Clerk's written notice of denial or the conditions annexed to the permit, as these documents identify specific areas of noncompliance. Tenants who have concerns about whether their community is operating with a valid permit or meeting compliance-schedule conditions may contact the East Hampton Town Clerk's office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York mobile home regulations.
