Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-13
Illumination
Operative Text
Every house trailer park shall be illuminated at night.
Section 54-13 of Islip's Code of Ordinances establishes a baseline lighting requirement for house trailer parks: the entire park must have illumination during nighttime hours. This rule applies to the park as a whole rather than to individual units, and it operates as a continuous, ongoing obligation rather than a one-time compliance measure. The provision does not specify a minimum light level, leaving the general standard of 'illuminated' as the operative threshold.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Islip Code § 54-13, operators of house trailer parks are generally expected to maintain functional nighttime lighting throughout the park at all times. Compliant operators typically inspect lighting systems regularly, replace failed fixtures promptly, and ensure coverage extends across common areas and access routes. Documenting maintenance schedules and repairs can help demonstrate ongoing adherence to this illumination requirement.

Section 54-13 gives residents of Islip house trailer parks a basis to expect that their park will be lit at night as a matter of local code. If nighttime lighting is absent or consistently failing, residents may consider reporting the condition to the Town of Islip's code enforcement or building department, which oversees compliance with Chapter 54. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help residents understand what options are generally available when a park operator is not meeting this standard.
