Owego Village Code ch. 142 § 142-10 establishes standards for how fuel must be stored in mobile home parks. Larger liquefied petroleum gas containers—those exceeding 125 gallons—must be placed at least 25 feet away from any mobile home, structure, building, or lot line, and must be protected from vehicle traffic. Fuel oil and other flammable materials must be stored in a manner that does not create a fire hazard.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to § 142-10 are generally expected to ensure that all fuel storage facilities are safe and efficient. For LP gas containers over 125 gallons, compliant operators site those containers a minimum of 25 feet from homes, structures, and lot lines, and take measures to shield them from vehicle damage. For fuel oil and other flammable materials, compliant operators use storage methods and containers that prevent fire hazards on the property.

Section 142-10 of the Owego Village Code gives residents of mobile home parks a basis to expect that fuel storage on the property meets specific safety standards, including distance requirements for large LP gas tanks and fire-safe storage of fuel oil. If a tenant observes what appears to be a violation—such as an oversized LP gas container placed too close to homes or improperly stored flammable materials—that concern can generally be reported to the local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what documentation to gather and what local channels are available for addressing potential violations.
