Purpose
Operative Text
It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the community and to protect and preserve the environmental character and real property values in the Town of Goshen through regulation of the planning, design, layout, construction and continued operation of mobile home parks.
Section 69-2 of Goshen's Code of Ordinances establishes the overarching purpose of the town's mobile home park regulations. The chapter is designed to safeguard public health, safety, and general welfare while also protecting the environmental character and property values of the Town of Goshen. It does so by subjecting the planning, design, layout, construction, and ongoing operation of mobile home parks to regulatory oversight.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 69-2, the Town of Goshen has framed its mobile home park chapter around health, safety, environmental character, and property values as guiding principles. Operators who comply with the chapter's requirements generally ensure that their parks are planned, designed, constructed, and maintained in ways consistent with these stated purposes. Keeping this foundational purpose in mind can help operators understand how specific requirements elsewhere in Chapter 69 are likely to be interpreted and applied.

Section 69-2 signals that Chapter 69 of the Goshen Code exists, in part, to protect the welfare of people living in mobile home parks, not just the interests of property owners or the broader community. Residents who believe a park's conditions fall short of the health, safety, or operational standards the chapter is meant to uphold may have grounds to raise those concerns with the Town of Goshen. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal code can help residents understand how this stated purpose connects to enforceable rights under the rest of Chapter 69.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
