Outdoor hazards
Operative Text
All areas of the mobile home community and individual mobile home sites shall be maintained free of dry brush, leaves, weeds and other debris that could contribute to the spread of fire within the individual mobile home site or the mobile home community.
Section 174-3-8 of the East Hampton Code requires that both the shared grounds of a mobile home community and each individual mobile home site be kept clear of dry brush, leaves, weeds, and similar debris that could help fire spread. The rule applies to the entire property — common areas and private lots alike — not just structures. Its purpose is to reduce outdoor fire hazards that could endanger residents and neighboring homes within the community.

Under East Hampton Code § 174-3-8, operators of mobile home communities are generally expected to implement regular maintenance schedules that keep common areas free of dry brush, leaves, weeds, and combustible debris. Compliant operators typically also monitor individual sites and communicate vegetation-management expectations to residents so that the entire community meets the fire-safety standard. Keeping dated maintenance logs and inspection records can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
