Hornell, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 178 § 178-43
Applicability
Operative Text
This Part 2 shall apply to mobile homes used or intended to be used for year-round dwelling accommodations in fixed locations and to mobile home courts.
Section 178-43 of Hornell's Code of Ordinances defines the scope of Part 2 of Chapter 178, establishing that its rules cover mobile homes that are used—or intended to be used—as permanent, year-round residences situated in fixed locations, as well as the mobile home courts where such homes are sited. The provision draws a clear boundary: mobile homes used only seasonally or temporarily, or those not in fixed locations, fall outside Part 2's reach. Understanding this applicability threshold is essential for determining whether the other requirements in Part 2 apply to a given property or community.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of mobile home courts in Hornell should be aware that § 178-43 brings their properties squarely within the requirements of Part 2 of Chapter 178, given that courts by definition host homes in fixed locations intended for year-round occupancy. A compliant operator generally reviews all other provisions of Part 2 to ensure the court and its individual home sites meet applicable standards. Owners of individual mobile homes used as permanent residences at fixed locations are similarly subject to Part 2's requirements and typically maintain their properties in accordance with those rules.

Tenants living in mobile homes as their year-round, permanent residence at a fixed location—including those residing in mobile home courts—are covered by the protections and standards set out in Part 2 of Chapter 178, as established by § 178-43. If a landlord or court operator appears to be ignoring Part 2's requirements, tenants can look to the City of Hornell's local code enforcement office as a potential avenue for raising concerns.
