Section 106-40 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances establishes minimum maintenance standards that nonconforming mobile home parks must meet on an ongoing basis. These standards cover roadway upkeep, sanitary systems, drainage, and refuse handling, and require that water supply and sewage disposal systems meet Dutchess County Department of Health standards with annual verification submitted to the Town Board. The provision also cross-references several other sections of Chapter 106, including rules on registration, supervision, storage, litter, fire extinguishers, and open fires, all of which nonconforming parks must also satisfy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of nonconforming mobile home parks in Fishkill are generally expected to keep park roadways free of holes and dust, maintain water and sewage systems in line with Dutchess County Department of Health standards, and submit annual verification of that compliance to the Town Board under § 106-40. Drainage systems should be kept functional to prevent stagnant water, erosion, and flooding, and refuse must be stored in flytight, watertight, rodentproof containers and collected at least weekly. Compliant operators also stay current with the cross-referenced provisions in Chapter 106, including §§ 106-4, 106-5, 106-26, 106-32, 106-33, and 106-34.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of nonconforming mobile home parks in Fishkill have an interest in knowing that § 106-40 requires park management—not tenants—to maintain roads, sanitary systems, drainage, and refuse collection to defined minimum standards. If conditions such as road disrepair, drainage failures, or inadequate refuse collection appear to fall short of these requirements, tenants may consider documenting the conditions and contacting the Town of Fishkill or the Dutchess County Department of Health, which is specifically named in the provision. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help residents understand what options may be available when maintenance standards under Chapter 106 are not being met.
