Section 227-19 of Sloatsburg's Code of Ordinances establishes detailed sanitary facility requirements for trailer camps and tourist camps, covering the ratio of toilets, urinals, sinks, and showers to occupants, as well as construction standards for toilet buildings, water supply safety, garbage containment, and proper sex-based labeling and separation. The rule prohibits the use of toilets located inside house trailers and requires that water supplies be approved by the Health Officer, with weekly bacteriological testing filed within 24 hours of completion. Kitchen sink wastewater and all plumbing installations are subject to approval by the Building Inspector, and garbage and rubbish containers must be provided at a set ratio per occupant.

Operators of trailer camps and tourist camps in Sloatsburg are generally expected to maintain sanitary facilities that meet the occupant-to-fixture ratios and construction standards set out in § 227-19, including properly lit, ventilated, and moisture-resistant toilet buildings with concrete floors sloped to drains. Compliant operators typically coordinate with the Building Inspector for plumbing approvals and leaching pit designs, and arrange for weekly bacteriological water testing through a Health Officer–approved laboratory, filing results within 24 hours. Garbage and rubbish containers meeting the per-person ratio requirements, along with clearly marked and sex-separated facilities, are also standard elements of an operation that aligns with this provision.

Residents of trailer camps and tourist camps in Sloatsburg are entitled under § 227-19 to access communal sanitary facilities that meet specific ratios and construction standards, including adequate toilets, showers, sinks, and garbage containers, as well as a water supply that has been approved and regularly tested by the Health Officer. If these facilities appear to fall below the standards described in this provision—such as inadequate fixture ratios, poor lighting or ventilation, or missing water-quality filings—tenants may consider documenting the conditions and raising the issue with local code enforcement or the Health Officer. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what options may be available when sanitary conditions at a camp appear to fall short of what § 227-19 requires.
