Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-26
Electric power; telephone and television service
Operative Text
A. The manufactured home park electrical distribution shall be installed underground and shall comply with the National Electric Code and with requirements of the Public Service Commission and the utility company serving the area. B. The distribution system for telephone service shall be underground, in accordance with the standards established by the New York Telephone Company. C. Television service which is provided by a cable system shall be installed underground. When cable service is not available, a common antenna shall be provided with direct, buried cable to each manufactured home site.
Section 83-26 of the Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances (ch. 83) establishes that electrical, telephone, and television distribution systems within manufactured home parks must be installed underground rather than overhead. Electrical systems must meet the National Electric Code and the standards of the Public Service Commission and the local utility. Telephone lines must follow New York Telephone Company standards, and cable television lines must also be buried; where cable service is unavailable, a shared antenna with direct buried cable to each home site is required instead.

Operators of manufactured home parks in Sodus must ensure that all utility distribution infrastructure—electrical, telephone, and television—is installed underground in compliance with § 83-26. For electrical systems, this means adhering to the National Electric Code as well as any requirements set by the Public Service Commission and the serving utility company. Compliant park operators also verify that telephone lines meet New York Telephone Company standards and that television service, whether via buried cable or a common antenna with buried cable runs, satisfies the underground installation requirement before any home sites are occupied or new infrastructure is added.

Under § 83-26 of the Sodus Code of Ordinances (ch. 83), residents of manufactured home parks have an interest in knowing that the park's electrical, telephone, and television distribution systems are required by local law to be installed underground. If overhead utility lines are present or service infrastructure appears to be out of compliance with this provision, tenants may raise the issue with local code enforcement authorities in Sodus. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing regulations can help residents understand what options are generally available when a park's infrastructure does not appear to meet the standards set out in § 83-26.
