Section 176-2 of Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 establishes a licensing requirement for mobile home parks. Anyone seeking to operate a mobile home park must first obtain an initial license, which requires submitting a detailed application—including site plans, building specifications, and identifying information—to the enforcement officer, who may only issue the license after the Village Board approves it and the County Health Department reviews and approves the park plan. Once licensed, operators must renew annually, and renewal is contingent on an inspection by the enforcement officer before the Village Clerk issues the renewed license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 176-2, operators of mobile home parks in Johnson City are expected to prepare and submit a complete license application on village-provided forms, including a properly scaled site plan and construction specifications, filed in triplicate with the enforcement officer. Compliant operators ensure that all proposed construction is finished before the initial license is issued and that the park plan has received County Health Department approval. For annual renewal under § 176-2(D), operators generally maintain the park in a condition that will pass enforcement officer inspection, as the Village Clerk issues renewals only after that inspection is completed.

Section 176-2 of Johnson City's Code of Ordinances ch. 176 requires that any mobile home park operating in the village hold a valid, Village Board–approved license and pass annual inspections for renewal. Residents of a mobile home park may have grounds to raise concerns if a park appears to be operating without a current license or without having passed the required enforcement officer inspection under § 176-2(D). Tenants who believe a park is out of compliance can generally inquire with the village enforcement officer or Village Clerk about the park's license status, or seek guidance from a local tenant-rights organization familiar with mobile home park regulations.
