Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 131-24
Temporary occupancy
Operative Text
Any person desiring to temporarily occupy a mobile home or recreational vehicle on his or her premises during the course of construction of a residence for which a building permit has been issued may apply directly to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a permit. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall set the standards for granting such permit. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for the residence until the mobile home or recreational vehicle has been removed from the premises.
Section 131-24 of Mamakating's Code of Ordinances allows a property owner to live in a mobile home or recreational vehicle on their own land while a permitted residence is being built, but only with approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Board sets the conditions under which such a temporary-occupancy permit is granted. Once construction is complete, the mobile home or recreational vehicle must be removed before a certificate of occupancy can be issued for the new residence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 131-24, operators or property owners overseeing a construction project in Mamakating who wish to use a mobile home or RV as temporary on-site housing must first secure a permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals before moving in. Compliant operators ensure the temporary unit is removed from the premises prior to requesting a certificate of occupancy for the newly constructed residence. Keeping records of the Board's approval and any conditions it sets helps demonstrate ongoing compliance throughout the construction period.

Section 131-24 establishes that temporary occupancy of a mobile home or recreational vehicle during home construction is a conditional privilege, not an automatic right — it requires a Zoning Board of Appeals permit. If you are living in such a unit on a property where this provision applies, understanding the permit's conditions can help you know what protections or limitations are in place. Tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney familiar with Mamakating's zoning code can help clarify how § 131-24 may affect your occupancy status.
