Section 69-9 of Goshen, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 69 establishes a set of operational and maintenance rules for mobile home parks in Goshen. It sets minimum rental periods of 180 days, restricts subleasing, limits pets to one dog or cat per unit, and bars pre-1974 mobile homes lacking a New York State seal. Both park operators and occupants carry defined responsibilities — operators must supervise placement, maintain common areas, keep occupant registers, and notify the Town Board of ownership changes, while occupants must keep their individual sites clean and free of debris.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 69-9, a compliant mobile home park operator generally ensures that no space is rented for fewer than 180 days, verifies that any mobile home admitted after the ordinance's effective date carries the required New York State seal if manufactured before January 15, 1974, and maintains a current register of occupants including make, year, and seal serial number. Operators also supervise the physical placement of each unit — securing tie-downs and utility connections — and keep common grounds, streets, and facilities in good repair and sanitary condition. Notifying the Goshen Town Board promptly when ownership or management changes, and informing occupants of their responsibilities under § 69-9, are also standard compliance practices.
