Massena, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-54
Reference to Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and other laws
Operative Text
A. Installations, alterations and repairs to mobile homes and mobile home courts, and materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in connection therewith, shall be reasonably safe to persons and property and shall comply with applicable statutes of the State of New York and orders, rules and regulations issued by authority thereof. B. Except as otherwise provided in this Part 2 , conformity of installations, alterations and repairs of mobile home court buildings and their accessory structures, and of materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in connection with such buildings and structures, with the applicable requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, shall be prima facie evidence that such work, material, assembly or equipment is reasonably safe to persons and property.
Section 186-54 of Massena's Code of Ordinances establishes a safety and compliance standard for installations, alterations, and repairs carried out in mobile homes and mobile home courts. All such work, along with the materials and equipment used, must be reasonably safe and must conform to applicable New York State statutes and regulations. When work on mobile home court buildings and their accessory structures meets the requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, that conformity serves as prima facie evidence—a rebuttable presumption—that the work is reasonably safe.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 186-54, property owners and managers of mobile home courts in Massena are generally expected to ensure that any installation, alteration, or repair work—and all associated materials and equipment—meets applicable New York State law. Operators who document compliance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code establish a strong baseline presumption of safety for their work and structures. Maintaining records of code-compliant inspections, permits, and materials can support a showing that work performed in the court meets the 'reasonably safe' standard the provision requires.

Section 186-54 establishes that residents of mobile homes and mobile home courts in Massena have an interest in work performed on their community meeting a 'reasonably safe' standard under New York State law. If a tenant believes that an installation, alteration, or repair in the court does not meet this standard or falls short of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, they may consider raising the issue with local code enforcement authorities or contacting a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Tenants can also explore whether a documented code violation under § 186-54 could be relevant to any complaint or proceeding they choose to pursue.
