Groton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-39
Fire protection
Operative Text
A. Manufactured housing parks shall be kept free of litter, rubbish and any flammable materials. B. Fire hydrants shall be located so as to be no more than 600 feet from any manufactured housing, service building or other structure.
Section 127-39 of Groton's Code of Ordinances establishes two fire-protection requirements for manufactured housing parks: the grounds must be kept clear of litter, rubbish, and flammable materials, and fire hydrants must be positioned within 600 feet of any manufactured home, service building, or other structure in the park. These rules are designed to reduce fire risk and ensure that firefighting resources are accessible throughout the park. The provision applies to the park as a whole rather than to individual units in isolation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured housing parks in Groton should maintain a regular schedule for removing litter, rubbish, and flammable materials from all areas of the park to stay in compliance with § 127-39. Before developing or expanding a park, owners and managers typically verify that fire hydrant placement meets the 600-foot proximity requirement for every structure on the property. Routine site inspections help document ongoing compliance with both the cleanliness and hydrant-access standards set out in this section.
