Riverhead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 249 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 249-16
General requirements
Operative Text
All parks shall provide safe, continuous and convenient vehicular access from abutting public streets or roads to each mobile home and travel trailer lot. For purposes of this chapter, all streets or roads providing such vehicular access shall hereinafter be referred to as the "park street system."
Section 249-16 of Riverhead's Code of Ordinances requires that every mobile home and travel trailer park maintain a road network connecting each individual lot to public streets. This internal road system—called the 'park street system' for purposes of Chapter 249—must be safe, uninterrupted, and reasonably easy to use. The provision establishes both a physical infrastructure standard and a defined term used throughout the rest of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home and travel trailer parks in Riverhead are generally expected, under § 249-16, to keep all internal roads within the park in a condition that allows vehicles to travel safely and without obstruction from any public street to every individual lot. Compliant operators typically inspect and maintain the park street system on a regular basis to address hazards such as potholes, drainage problems, or blocked access points. Because the term 'park street system' carries legal significance throughout Chapter 249, keeping accurate records of road maintenance and improvements can support ongoing compliance.
