Section 83-27 of Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 establishes safety and installation standards for all fuel systems in manufactured home parks. Natural gas, fuel oil, and liquefied petroleum gas each have specific requirements tied to recognized national standards—such as American Gas Association guidelines, NFPA Standard 30, and NFPA Standard 58—as well as applicable local codes. Fuel oil storage tanks must be buried underground with permanently secured piping, and LP gas tanks must be placed at the rear of each site and screened from public view with landscaping.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Sodus must ensure that every fuel system on the property—whether natural gas, fuel oil, or liquefied petroleum gas—is installed and continuously maintained in line with the standards named in § 83-27. Compliant park operators typically document that fuel oil tanks are installed underground with secured piping, that LP gas tanks are sited at the rear of each lot and visually screened, and that natural gas work has been reviewed and approved by the supplying utility. Keeping records of inspections, contractor credentials, and compliance with NFPA Standards 30 and 58 is a practice commonly associated with meeting this provision's ongoing maintenance obligations.

Section 83-27 of Sodus Code ch. 83 gives residents of manufactured home parks a basis to expect that all fuel systems on the property are safely installed, properly maintained, and compliant with recognized national fire and safety standards. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short—such as above-ground fuel oil tanks, unsecured piping, or LP gas tanks that are not screened or properly located—those observations may be relevant to a housing or fire code complaint filed with the appropriate local or state authority. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what documentation to gather and which agencies or bodies handle complaints related to this type of provision.
