Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-13
Access to mobile home lots
Operative Text
Convenient access shall be provided to each mobile home stand for maneuvering the mobile home into position. The access shall be kept free from trees and other immovable obstructions and shall be a minimum width of 12 feet or the width required by current mobile home models plus extra width necessary for maneuvering a mobile home on a curve. The alignment and gradient of such accessway shall be adequate to prevent contact of the undercarriage of the mobile home and shall be safe and easily traversed as determined by the Town Board.
Section 106-13 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances establishes physical standards for the access routes leading to mobile home stands within a mobile home park. Each accessway must be wide enough — at minimum 12 feet, or wider if current mobile home dimensions require it — and free of trees or other fixed obstructions that would block maneuvering. The route's alignment and slope must also be sufficient to prevent the mobile home's undercarriage from making ground contact, with the Town Board serving as the authority on whether an accessway meets the safety standard.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Fishkill are generally expected to maintain accessways to each mobile home stand in compliance with § 106-13 by keeping them clear of trees and immovable obstructions at all times. A compliant operator routinely verifies that access widths meet or exceed the 12-foot minimum — or the greater width demanded by current mobile home models — and accounts for additional clearance on curves. Gradient and alignment are also kept within limits that prevent undercarriage contact, and operators typically document that the Town Board has found the accessway safe and easily traversed.

Residents of mobile home parks in Fishkill have an interest in knowing that § 106-13 entitles each mobile home stand to a properly maintained, unobstructed access route that meets minimum width and grade requirements. If an accessway appears blocked, too narrow, or otherwise unsafe for maneuvering a mobile home, that condition may represent a code violation that can be reported to the Town of Fishkill or its Town Board, which holds authority under this section to evaluate safety. Tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand what options are available when an accessway does not appear to meet the standards set out in § 106-13.
