Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-37
Required standards
Operative Text
Prior to the approval of any area for the development of any mobile home park, the Town Board shall determine that the following environmental standards are met: A. The soil and topographical conditions of the site shall be such as not to create an unreasonable health hazard or a significant detrimental effect to the ecology of the area. B. The site shall not be exposed to unusual noise, objectionable smoke, noxious odors, insect or rodent infestation or the probability of flooding or erosion.
Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-37 establishes baseline environmental conditions that a proposed mobile home park site must satisfy before the Town Board can grant approval for its development. The rule addresses two broad categories: the physical characteristics of the soil and topography must not pose unreasonable health or ecological risks, and the site must be free from hazards such as unusual noise, objectionable smoke, noxious odors, pest infestation, and flood or erosion risk. These standards function as threshold criteria — a site that fails any of them cannot receive development approval under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers seeking to establish a mobile home park in Fishkill should be aware that § 106-37 requires affirmative findings on environmental suitability before the Town Board will approve a site. Compliant applicants typically prepare documentation — such as soil surveys, topographic analyses, flood-zone determinations, and environmental assessments — that demonstrates the site meets each of the enumerated standards. Presenting thorough, credible evidence addressing soil conditions, ecological impact, noise, odors, pest risk, and erosion potential is generally part of a complete application package under this chapter.

For residents or prospective residents of a mobile home park in Fishkill, § 106-37 means that any park legally developed under this code was required to meet specific environmental standards at the time of its approval. If conditions such as flooding, pest infestation, or noxious odors arise, tenants may find it relevant to review whether those conditions were present at the time of approval or developed afterward, as that distinction can affect which remedies or complaints are available. Tenant-rights organizations and local municipal offices can help residents understand how this provision interacts with ongoing habitability obligations and what avenues — such as filing a complaint with the town or raising conditions as a defense in a housing proceeding — may be available.
