Operative Text
The Town Board of the Town of Islip is hereby authorized to grant a permit to any person, firm, partnership or corporation desiring to engage in the business of establishing, maintaining, conducting or operating any house trailer park, upon compliance with the provisions of this ordinance and other ordinances applicable thereto and upon certification thereof by the Assessor of the Town of Islip and the Chief of Police of the Town of Islip. The application for the permit shall state the exact location of the site, lot, field or tract of land upon which it is proposed to establish such house trailer park, and shall contain an agreement on the part of the applicant that in accepting such permit he will permit entry into such house trailer park premises and into any building, structure, trailer, vehicle or enclosure upon such park premises at any time that a request is made by an authorized inspector or peace officer of the Town of Islip.
Section 54-3 of Islip's Code of Ordinances establishes that operating a house trailer park within the Town of Islip requires a permit issued by the Town Board. Before a permit is granted, the Town Assessor and Chief of Police must both certify compliance with applicable ordinances. The permit application must identify the precise location of the proposed park, and acceptance of the permit carries a built-in consent to inspection by authorized Town inspectors or peace officers at any time upon request.

Under § 54-3, operators of house trailer parks in Islip must obtain a Town Board permit before establishing or running such a facility, which requires sign-off from both the Town Assessor and the Chief of Police. A compliant operator submits an application that precisely identifies the property's location and acknowledges that accepting the permit means consenting to entry by authorized Town inspectors or peace officers whenever they request access. Maintaining accurate records of the site's location and keeping the property accessible for inspection are hallmarks of ongoing compliance with this provision.
