Under § 154-21, operators of mobile home communities are generally expected to ensure that any accessory structures—including patios and storage lockers—are constructed from durable materials appropriate to their function and site. Patios should be positioned to allow residents to move safely and easily between the mobile home and the patio area. Storage lockers must be designed with sufficient capacity and placed in a location that is readily accessible to the associated mobile home.

Section 154-21 gives mobile home residents a basis to expect that accessory structures on their site—such as patios and storage lockers—meet minimum standards for durability, safety, and convenience. If a patio presents unsafe access conditions or a storage locker is inadequate or poorly located, residents may have grounds to raise a violation under this provision. Tenants experiencing such conditions can document the issue, contact local code enforcement in Lackawanna, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
