Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 131-13
Restrictions on new developments or expansion of existing developments
Operative Text
A. No mobile home park for which an application was not granted or pending on or before May 13, 1986, shall hereinafter be approved for development, construction and/or operation or be granted a permit hereunder and/or hereafter be developed, constructed or operated. B. No additional mobile home spaces, lots or other locations in a mobile home park for which an application was not pending on or before May 13, 1986, shall hereafter be approved for development, construction and/or operation or be granted a permit hereunder or hereafter be constructed, developed or operated. C. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the redesign of existing mobile home parks so long as the number of mobile home spaces, lots or other locations in the redesigned park shall not exceed the number of lots which had been approved and operating prior to the redesign. No such redesign shall be instituted without approval therefor being obtained as otherwise required by this chapter.
Section 131-13 of Mamakating's Code of Ordinances establishes a freeze on new mobile home park development and expansion, using May 13, 1986, as the cutoff date. No new mobile home park may be approved, permitted, or built unless an application was already granted or pending by that date, and no existing park may add spaces or lots beyond what was applied for by that same date. However, the rule does allow existing parks to be redesigned or reconfigured internally, provided the total number of spaces does not increase beyond the previously approved count and all required approvals under Chapter 131 are obtained.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers subject to Chapter 131, § 131-13 generally ensure that any proposed mobile home park project or expansion can demonstrate an application was granted or pending on or before May 13, 1986, before seeking permits. Compliant operators who wish to redesign an existing park typically document that the redesigned layout does not exceed the number of spaces that were approved and operating prior to the redesign. Obtaining all required approvals under Chapter 131 before proceeding with any redesign is a standard part of the compliance process under this provision.

Residents of mobile home parks in Mamakating may find § 131-13 relevant if a park operator attempts to add new spaces or develop a new park without the historical application basis the provision requires. If a park appears to be operating or expanding in violation of this freeze, tenants and community members can raise the matter with the Town of Mamakating's local code enforcement or planning authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand how this provision interacts with other protections available to them.
