Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-27
Liquid petroleum gas storage
Operative Text
A. Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) systems, if used, shall be provided with safety devices to relieve excessive pressures and shall be arranged so that the discharge terminates at a safe location. Such systems shall have at least one accessible means for shutting off gas. Such means shall be located outside the mobile home and shall be maintained in effective operating condition. B. All LPG piping outside of the mobile home shall be well supported and protected against mechanical injury. Undiluted liquefied petroleum gas in liquid form shall not be conveyed through piping equipment and systems in mobile homes. C. Liquefied petroleum gas containers installed on a mobile home site shall be securely but not permanently fastened to prevent accidental overturning. Such containers shall not be less than 12 nor more than 60 gallons' gross capacity. D. No liquefied petroleum gas vessel shall be stored or located inside or beneath any storage cabinet, carport, mobile home or any other structure unless such installations are approved by the Dutchess County Department of Health.
Section 106-27 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances establishes safety requirements for liquid petroleum gas (LPG) systems used in mobile home settings. The rule requires pressure-relief devices, accessible exterior shutoff mechanisms, properly supported exterior piping, and containers of a specific size range (12–60 gallons gross capacity) that are secured against tipping. It also prohibits storing LPG vessels inside or beneath structures such as carports or mobile homes unless the Dutchess County Department of Health has approved the installation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home sites governed by Fishkill Code § 106-27 generally ensure that any LPG system is equipped with functioning pressure-relief devices and that at least one shutoff mechanism is installed outside each mobile home and kept in working order. Compliant site managers also verify that exterior LPG piping is adequately supported and shielded from physical damage, and that containers fall within the 12-to-60-gallon gross capacity range and are secured to prevent tipping. Any LPG vessel placement inside or beneath a structure—such as a carport or storage cabinet—requires documented approval from the Dutchess County Department of Health before installation.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents living in mobile homes subject to Fishkill Code § 106-27 have a right to LPG systems that include accessible exterior shutoffs, pressure-relief devices, and properly secured containers within the permitted size range. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to conflict with these requirements—such as an unsecured container, missing shutoff access, or an LPG vessel stored beneath a structure without apparent approval—they may document the concern and report it to the relevant local or county authority, including the Dutchess County Department of Health. Tenant-rights organizations or housing counselors can help residents understand what options may be available when safety standards under § 106-27 appear not to be met.
