Rensselaer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 121 § 121-46
Permit required
Operative Text
No persons 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 121-46 of Rensselaer's Code of Ordinances establishes that operating or maintaining a mobile home court covered by Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code is contingent on holding a valid permit from the appropriate State, County, or City Health Department. The rule applies before any such operation begins, meaning the permit must be secured in advance rather than after the fact. This requirement exists to ensure that mobile home courts meet public health standards set by state and local authorities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 121-46, operators and owners of mobile home courts that fall under Chapter VII of the New York State Sanitary Code are generally expected to obtain the required permit from the State, County, or City Health Department with jurisdiction before commencing or continuing operations. Compliant operators typically identify which health department has jurisdiction over their specific location and maintain current, valid permits as a condition of lawful operation. Keeping permit documentation on file and renewing it according to the applicable health department's schedule are practices associated with ongoing compliance.

Section 121-46 provides that residents of mobile home courts have an interest in knowing whether the court where they live holds the permit required by the State, County, or City Health Department under the New York State Sanitary Code's Chapter VII. If a court appears to be operating without such a permit, tenants may have the option of contacting the relevant health department to inquire about permit status or file a complaint. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing and sanitary code requirements can help residents understand what avenues may be available to them.
