Schaghticoke, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 89 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 89-12
Exceptions
Operative Text
None of the provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to the following: A. The business of mobile homes or travel trailer sales, except that where units are used as living quarters, they shall conform to the provisions of this chapter. B. The storage or garaging of mobile homes or travel trailers not being used for living or sleeping purposes within a building or structure, or the storage of one unoccupied mobile home or travel trailer on premises occupied as the principal residence by the owner of such mobile home or travel trailer; provided, however, that such unoccupied mobile home or travel trailer shall not be parked or located between the street line and the front building line of such premises. C. A mobile home or travel trailer located on the site of a construction project, survey project or other similar work project and which is used solely as a field office or work- or toolhouse in connection with such project, provided that such mobile home or travel trailer is removed from such site within 30 days after the completion of such project. D. A sectional house which is prefabricated in sections, transported to the building site, then fastened together and placed on a permanent and totally enclosed masonry foundation and which has a minimum width of 18 feet for its entire length and contains a minimum of 720 square feet of usable living space.
Section 89-12 of Schaghticoke's mobile home ordinance carves out several categories that fall outside the chapter's requirements. These include mobile home and travel trailer sales businesses, storage of unoccupied units not used for living purposes, temporary field offices on active work sites (removed within 30 days of project completion), and prefabricated sectional houses meeting specific size and foundation standards. Units actually used as living quarters, however, remain subject to the chapter's rules even when they otherwise fall into an exempt category.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and property owners in Schaghticoke should be aware that § 89-12 defines the boundaries of the chapter's reach. A compliant operator distinguishes between units held purely for sale or storage versus those actually occupied as living quarters, since the latter remain regulated regardless of the exception. Operators using a mobile home as a temporary construction site office generally ensure it is removed within 30 days of project completion to maintain exempt status.

Tenants living in mobile homes or travel trailers in Schaghticoke should know that § 89-12 does not remove protections simply because a unit falls into a listed category — if a unit is used as living quarters, the chapter's provisions still apply. Tenants who believe their unit is being misclassified as exempt may raise that issue as a defense in relevant proceedings or contact a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Reviewing the full chapter alongside § 89-12 can help clarify which protections remain in effect.
