Time for compliance; proviso
Operative Text
Any house trailer parks or individual house trailers now occupied or in use at the this ordinance or any amendment thereto takes effect, which do not conform with the provisions of this ordinance and its amendments, must be brought to full conformity within six (6) calendar months after this ordinance and any amendment thereto takes effect, or the use and/or occupancy of the same must be discontinued; provided that the minimum area of any lot in a house trailer park for which a permit was issued before January 16, 1958 shall not be required to exceed one thousand two hundred (1,200) square feet with a minimum frontage of thirty (30) feet.
Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-24 establishes a compliance window for house trailer parks and individual house trailers that were already occupied or in use when the ordinance (or any amendment) took effect. Any such trailer or park that did not meet the ordinance's requirements had six calendar months from the effective date to come into full conformity, or else use and occupancy had to stop. A limited exception applies to lots in trailer parks that received permits before January 16, 1958: those lots are not required to exceed 1,200 square feet in area or 30 feet in frontage, even if the general ordinance would otherwise demand more.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of house trailer parks or owners of individual house trailers in Islip should be aware that ch. 54 § 54-24 required pre-existing, non-conforming properties to achieve full compliance within six months of the ordinance or any amendment becoming effective. Compliant operators typically audit their properties against all current ordinance requirements promptly after any amendment takes effect and document any applicable permit history—particularly permits issued before January 16, 1958—that might qualify a lot for the reduced minimum area and frontage standards. Maintaining records of permit dates and lot dimensions is a common practice for demonstrating eligibility for the historical exception.
