Operative Text
A. Installations, alterations and repairs to mobile homes and mobile home courts and the materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in connection therewith shall be reasonably safe to persons and property and shall comply with applicable statutes of the State of New York and orders, rules and regulations issued by authority thereof. B. Except as otherwise provided in this Part 2 , conformity of installations, alterations and repairs of mobile home court buildings and their accessory structures and of materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in connection with such buildings and structures to the applicable requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code shall be prima facie evidence that such work, material, assembly or equipment is reasonably safe to persons and property.
Section 178-45 of Hornell's Code of Ordinances requires that all installations, alterations, and repairs to mobile homes and mobile home courts meet New York State safety standards and comply with applicable state statutes and regulations. When work on mobile home court buildings and their accessory structures conforms to the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, that conformity serves as prima facie evidence that the work is reasonably safe. This provision establishes a baseline safety standard tied directly to state law rather than setting entirely independent local criteria.
