Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 120-21
Repealer
Operative Text
The trailer ordinance known as the "Tourist Camp and House Trailer Ordinance of the Town of Gates, Monroe County, New York," adopted July 30, 1943, and amendments thereto, being Chapter 41 of the Code of the Town of Gates, is hereby repealed with the provision that violations of said ordinance shall remain violations to the extent that the matters in violation do not conform to the provisions of this chapter.
Section 120-21 of the Gates, N.Y. Code formally repeals the older 'Tourist Camp and House Trailer Ordinance' originally adopted in 1943 and previously codified as Chapter 41. The repeal is not a clean slate, however: any situation that was already in violation of the 1943 ordinance continues to be treated as a violation to the extent it also fails to comply with the current Chapter 120. In effect, the older rules are replaced by the newer chapter, but pre-existing non-conforming conditions do not escape scrutiny simply because the old law was repealed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of trailer parks or tourist camps in Gates should be aware that § 120-21 eliminated the 1943 ordinance as a standalone regulatory document, making Chapter 120 the governing framework. A compliant operator generally ensures that any conditions on their property meet the current Chapter 120 standards, since conditions that were non-conforming under the old ordinance remain actionable if they also fall short of the current chapter's requirements. Reviewing current Chapter 120 provisions against existing site conditions is the standard practice for demonstrating ongoing compliance.

For tenants residing in trailer parks or tourist camps in Gates, § 120-21 clarifies that the repeal of the 1943 ordinance did not create a regulatory gap — Chapter 120 now governs, and pre-existing violations carried over to the extent they conflict with the current chapter. Tenants who believe a property condition violates Chapter 120 may raise that non-conformance through the Town of Gates' code enforcement process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Monroe County housing regulations can help identify which current Chapter 120 provisions may apply to a given living situation.
