Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-31
Additional requirements of manufactured home community or park owners and/or tenants
Operative Text
A. Uninhabited or uninhabitable manufactured homes or manufactured home stands shall be the responsibility of the manufactured home community owner, park owner, owner's designated agent and/or manager to remove or maintain in accordance with applicable federal, state and local standards, laws or codes. Manufactured homes not habitable or uninhabited and/or not in compliance for a period of 30 days shall be deemed the responsibility of the manufactured home community owner, owner's designated agent and/or manager to remove, maintain and or bring said manufactured home into compliance. B. Inspection and notification. Manufactured homes upon inspection, complaint or review found by the Code Enforcement Officer to be uninhabited or uninhabitable and not in compliance with applicable statutes shall, within 90 days of notification, become compliant. Notice of violation or violations shall be in writing upon the owner, park owner, owner's designated agent and/or manager by personal service, or certified mail. The owner may be required to file a compliance plan with Code Enforcement Officer stating repairs to be made, contractors making repairs, schedule for compliance, or removal of said manufactured home. Permits and inspections certificates shall be provided to the Town of Manchester. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued without Code Enforcement Officer inspection for compliance and certification of compliance and receipt of permits and inspection certificates.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-31 establishes that uninhabited or uninhabitable manufactured homes in a community or park are the responsibility of the community or park owner—not the individual home occupant—to bring into compliance, remove, or maintain. If a home has been non-compliant or uninhabited for 30 days, that responsibility is formally triggered. When a Code Enforcement Officer identifies a violation through inspection, complaint, or review, the responsible party has 90 days from written notification to achieve compliance, and no certificate of occupancy may be issued until the officer certifies that compliance has been met.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-31, compliant manufactured home community and park operators generally monitor their properties for uninhabited or uninhabitable units and address non-compliance before the 30-day threshold is reached. When a written notice of violation is issued by the Code Enforcement Officer, operators typically prepare and file a compliance plan that identifies the repairs needed, the contractors involved, and a schedule for completion or removal. Operators also ensure that all required permits and inspection certificates are obtained and submitted to the Town of Manchester before seeking a certificate of occupancy.

Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-31 places the primary obligation for maintaining or removing uninhabitable manufactured homes on the community or park owner, owner's designated agent, or manager—not on residents. Tenants who observe uninhabitable conditions or non-compliant units in their community may file a complaint that can trigger a Code Enforcement Officer inspection and the 90-day compliance process. Residents seeking to understand how this provision affects their living situation may wish to contact the Town of Manchester's Code Enforcement office or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
