Massena, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-55
Permit
Operative Text
No permit shall maintain or operate a mobile home court which falls within the purview of Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code without first having obtained a permit from the state, county or city health department office having jurisdiction.
Section 186-55 of Massena's Code of Ordinances establishes that mobile home courts subject to Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code cannot lawfully operate without a valid permit issued by the appropriate state, county, or city health department. The rule creates a permitting prerequisite tied to the scope of the state sanitary code, meaning the health authority with jurisdiction over the location must grant approval before operations begin. This requirement applies to any entity maintaining or operating such a facility, not merely to those establishing a new one.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home courts in Massena should be aware that § 186-55 requires a current, valid permit from the applicable state, county, or city health department before the court may be maintained or operated. Compliant operators typically identify which health department has jurisdiction over their property, apply for the required permit under Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code, and keep that permit current through any required renewals. Maintaining documentation of the permit on-site is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Section 186-55 provides residents of mobile home courts with a baseline protection: the court where they live is required to hold a valid health department permit to operate legally in Massena. If a tenant has reason to believe a court is operating without the required state, county, or city health department permit under § 186-55, they may consider contacting the relevant health department to inquire about the facility's permit status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing and sanitary code requirements can help residents understand what options may be available when a facility appears to be out of compliance.
