Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-21
Lighting requirements
Operative Text
Mobile home parks shall be furnished with lighting units so spaced and at such heights to provide illumination for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement at night. A. In all parts of the mobile home park road system, an average illumination level of at least 0.8 footcandle and a minimum illumination level of at least 0.3 footcandle shall be maintained. B. Potentially hazardous locations shall be individually illuminated with a minimum level of at least 1.0 footcandle where deemed necessary by the Town Board.
Section 106-21 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances requires that mobile home parks maintain adequate outdoor lighting throughout their road systems and at hazardous locations. Roads must meet average illumination of at least 0.8 footcandles and a minimum of 0.3 footcandles at any point. Spots deemed potentially hazardous by the Town Board must be individually lit to at least 1.0 footcandle, ensuring safe movement for both pedestrians and vehicles after dark.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 106-21, operators of mobile home parks in Fishkill are generally expected to install and maintain lighting units spaced and positioned to meet the specific footcandle thresholds across the entire road system. Compliant operators typically conduct periodic lighting audits to confirm that average levels reach 0.8 footcandles and that no point on the road system falls below 0.3 footcandles. Areas flagged as potentially hazardous by the Town Board require individual fixtures capable of delivering at least 1.0 footcandle, so operators commonly monitor Town Board determinations and adjust lighting accordingly.

Residents of mobile home parks in Fishkill have an interest in the lighting standards established by § 106-21, which sets enforceable minimums for road illumination and hazardous-area lighting throughout the park. If lighting appears inadequate—for example, roads that seem dangerously dim at night—tenants can document the conditions and bring concerns to the Fishkill Town Board, which holds authority under this section to designate hazardous locations requiring higher illumination. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what documentation or complaint processes may be available to them.
