Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-29
Responsibilities of occupants
Operative Text
The community or park occupant shall be responsible for the maintenance of his manufactured home and any appurtenances thereto and shall keep all yard space on his site in a neat sanitary condition, free of litter, rubbish, unused vehicles and equipment or parts thereof.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-29 places the duty of upkeep squarely on the person living in a manufactured home community or park. That person is responsible for maintaining both the home itself and any attached structures, and must keep the surrounding yard space clean, sanitary, and free of litter, rubbish, unused vehicles, and equipment or parts. The rule establishes a baseline standard of site cleanliness that applies to each individual occupant's lot.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 217-29, park or community operators generally document site conditions during routine inspections to confirm that each occupant is meeting the maintenance and cleanliness standards the ordinance assigns to residents. Keeping records of inspection dates, findings, and any notices issued to occupants helps demonstrate that the park is being managed in accordance with ch. 217. Lease agreements that mirror the § 217-29 requirements can also help clarify each party's obligations from the outset of tenancy.
