Location restriction
Operative Text
No single-wide mobile home or manufactured home shall be located outside of a mobile home park or manufactured home community, except as noted in § 217-52 , Replacement mobile homes; inspection.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-54 establishes a location restriction that generally prohibits single-wide mobile homes and manufactured homes from being placed on land outside of a designated mobile home park or manufactured home community. The rule carves out a limited exception for replacement situations, which are governed separately under § 217-52. In effect, the ordinance channels single-wide units into organized communities rather than allowing them to be sited on arbitrary parcels throughout the jurisdiction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 217-54 of the Manchester Code, property owners and managers who deal in single-wide mobile homes or manufactured homes generally ensure that any such unit is sited within a properly designated mobile home park or manufactured home community. Operators seeking to place a replacement unit outside that setting would need to look to the separate standards set out in § 217-52 to determine whether an exception applies. Compliant operators typically verify the classification and location of a parcel before accepting or placing a single-wide unit.

Section 217-54 of the Manchester Code gives residents a basis to understand where single-wide mobile homes and manufactured homes may lawfully be located — namely, within a mobile home park or manufactured home community, with limited replacement exceptions under § 217-52. If a tenant believes a unit has been placed in a location that does not comply with this restriction, they may consider raising the issue with the local code enforcement office or contacting a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York housing regulations. Tenants can also review § 217-52 to understand whether a replacement-home exception might affect their specific housing situation.
