Hamburg Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 165 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 165-2
Purpose
Operative Text
The purpose of this chapter is to promote the health, safety, protection and general welfare of the inhabitants of the Town of Hamburg, including those living in mobile homes, in the following manner: A. By the regulation of mobile homes in parks and the requirement that all mobile home parks be properly licensed in the Town of Hamburg by the Town Board. B. By the requirement that mobile home parks can be established only in accordance with the plans for the same, as approved by the Town Planning Board. C. By the use of standards and regulations for the design and operation of mobile home parks.
Section 165-2 of Hamburg Town's Code of Ordinances establishes the overarching purpose of the town's mobile home park regulations: to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of all Hamburg residents, including those living in mobile homes. The chapter pursues this goal through three main mechanisms — licensing requirements for mobile home parks, planning board approval for new parks, and design and operation standards. This provision sets the policy foundation that the rest of Chapter 165 builds upon.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 165-2, operators and prospective developers of mobile home parks in Hamburg Town are expected to engage with a multi-step regulatory framework before and during operation. Compliant operators typically secure a license from the Town Board, obtain Planning Board approval for any new park based on submitted plans, and adhere to the design and operational standards set out in Chapter 165. Familiarity with this foundational purpose provision helps property managers understand why the subsequent licensing, planning, and standards requirements exist.

Section 165-2 signals that Hamburg Town has established a regulatory framework specifically intended to protect the welfare of mobile home park residents. Tenants living in mobile home parks can reference this provision as evidence that the town has a stated obligation to ensure parks are properly licensed and meet design and operational standards. Those who believe a park is operating without proper licensing or in violation of Chapter 165 standards may consider contacting the Hamburg Town Board or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
