Operators of RV parks subject to § 105-8 of the New Berlin Code generally ensure that their parks are laid out in conformance with the lot-size, density, and spacing requirements set out in the provision, and that RV stands are properly constructed and graded. Compliant operators maintain utilities and sanitary facilities in accordance with applicable Chenango County and New York State health and building codes, and keep detailed written occupancy records—including vehicle registration information—accessible for at least one year. Owners are also responsible under § 105-8J for ongoing maintenance of all park facilities and for snow and ice removal on roadways not accepted as Town roads.
