Fallsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 218 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 218-11
Skirting for structures built on piers
Operative Text
A. Any structures built on piers where the floor is 10 inches above the ground or higher shall require skirting on all sides from the floor to the ground. B. The skirting on all dwellings shall be maintained in good repair. Missing or damaged skirting shall be repaired or replaced and protected from deterioration. Allowable skirting material specifications shall comply with § 310-5.12B of the Fallsburg Zoning Code.
Fallsburg Code ch. 218 § 218-11 establishes two related requirements for structures built on piers. First, any pier-supported structure whose floor sits 10 inches or more above the ground must have skirting installed on all sides, running from the floor down to the ground. Second, skirting on all dwellings must be kept in good repair — missing or damaged sections must be fixed or replaced and protected against deterioration — using materials that meet the specifications in § 310-5.12B of the Fallsburg Zoning Code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of pier-supported dwellings in Fallsburg should confirm whether their structures meet the 10-inch threshold described in § 218-11 and, if so, ensure skirting is installed on every side. Ongoing compliance means conducting regular inspections to identify missing, damaged, or deteriorating skirting and completing repairs or replacements promptly. All skirting materials used must conform to the specifications set out in § 310-5.12B of the Fallsburg Zoning Code, so verifying material compliance before installation is a standard part of the process.

Tenants living in pier-supported dwellings in Fallsburg may have an interest in whether their home complies with § 218-11, which requires properly installed and maintained skirting where the floor is 10 or more inches above the ground. Deteriorating, missing, or non-compliant skirting can affect a unit's habitability and energy efficiency. Tenants who believe their dwelling is out of compliance with § 218-11 can document the condition, raise it with their landlord in writing, or contact the relevant Fallsburg municipal code enforcement office; tenant-rights organizations can also help explain available options.
