For Property Managers

Under Richmond, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 137 § 137-13, compliant mobile home park operators maintain current licenses by paying the $1-per-lot annual fee and filing for renewal at least 40 days before expiration. Operators who wish to transfer a license first allow the Code Enforcement Officer to inspect the park for compliance before the Town Clerk issues the transfer permit, and they obtain Town Board approval before any assignment. When a written notice of violation is received, compliant operators address the cited issue within the 10-day correction window to avoid a public hearing and potential license revocation.

For Tenants

Richmond, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 137 § 137-13 provides that mobile home park residents may be affected if a park's license is suspended or revoked due to the operator's failure to correct violations, which could ultimately require removal of homes from the park. Residents who believe a park is operating out of compliance with this chapter may contact the Town of Richmond's Code Enforcement Officer, who has authority to inspect parks at reasonable intervals. Those aggrieved by an administrative decision under this provision have the right to appeal to the Town Board by filing a notice of appeal with the Town Clerk within 30 days, and consulting a tenant-rights organization can help clarify available options.
