Grand Island, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 § 225-14 establishes that manufactured home parks must be equipped with storm sewer systems capable of handling a ten-year-intensity rainfall event. These systems must drain to an outlet approved by the Town Engineer and any other relevant regulatory agencies. Once built, the storm sewers remain privately owned, and ongoing maintenance is the responsibility of the park owner or operator rather than the municipality.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 225 § 225-14, operators of manufactured home parks in Grand Island are generally expected to install storm sewers sized for a ten-year-intensity rainfall and to secure Town Engineer approval for the designated drainage outlet before construction is finalized. Because these systems remain in private ownership, compliant operators also maintain ongoing inspection and upkeep programs to keep the infrastructure functioning properly. Keeping records of maintenance activities and any agency approvals can help demonstrate compliance with this provision.

Section 225-14 of Grand Island's Code of Ordinances places the burden of storm sewer construction and maintenance squarely on the park owner or operator, not on residents. If storm drainage infrastructure appears to be neglected or inadequate, tenants may have grounds to raise the park owner's maintenance obligations under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations or local municipal offices can help residents understand what options may be available when a park owner appears to be falling short of these responsibilities.
