Newfane, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 238 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 238-10
Exceptions
Operative Text
A. None of the provisions of this chapter shall be construed as granting vested interests to anyone licensed under this chapter, and the Town Board hereby reserves the right to withdraw all permissions and revoke all licenses granted under this chapter upon 60 days' notice by publication and posting as provided for in § 133 of the Town Law. B. None of the provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to the sale, storage or garaging of a house trailer or house trailers, provided that such house trailer or house trailers are not being used as living quarters. C. None of the provisions of this chapter shall be construed in any way so as to be in conflict with the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Newfane, and the requirements contained herein shall be in addition to the provisions contained in said Zoning Ordinance, and no license shall be issued hereunder which does not comply with the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Newfane. D. Licenses heretofore issued under Town Ordinance No. 3 shall remain in effect until their expiration on December 31, 1958.
Section 238-10 of Newfane's Code of Ordinances establishes several important carve-outs and clarifications for the town's mobile home or house trailer licensing chapter. Licenses granted under this chapter carry no vested rights, meaning the Town Board may revoke all permissions with 60 days' public notice. The chapter does not apply to house trailers used solely for sale, storage, or garaging—as long as they are not serving as living quarters—and all licensing requirements must remain consistent with Newfane's Zoning Ordinance, which continues to apply independently.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and property managers subject to Newfane Code ch. 238 should be aware that, under § 238-10, any license issued under this chapter can be revoked by the Town Board following the required 60-day notice period, with no guarantee of continued operating rights. Compliant operators ensure that any house trailer on their property used for sale, storage, or garaging is not simultaneously occupied as living quarters, which would bring it back under the chapter's requirements. Additionally, operators confirm that every license application and ongoing operation satisfies Newfane's Zoning Ordinance, since § 238-10 explicitly makes zoning compliance a prerequisite for licensure.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents living in house trailers or mobile homes in Newfane should understand that § 238-10 provides that the licensing protections and requirements of ch. 238 apply specifically to units used as living quarters—trailers used only for storage or garaging fall outside the chapter's scope. Tenants should also be aware that the Town Board retains the authority to revoke all licenses under this chapter after providing 60 days' public notice, which could affect the legal status of a rental arrangement. Those with questions about how a potential license revocation or zoning conflict under § 238-10 might affect their housing situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the Town of Newfane's Zoning Ordinance directly.
