Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-7
Interim dwellings
Operative Text
The Town Board may issue a temporary permit for a manufactured home not located in a manufactured home park when such manufactured home is to be used as an interim dwelling during construction of a permanent residence or in the event that a permanent residence has been damaged or destroyed or other similar hardship conditions. In such cases, said manufactured home shall be removed within 12 months from the date of issuance of the temporary permit. An extension of 12 months may be granted by the Town Board.
Under Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-7, the Town Board has the authority to issue a temporary permit allowing a manufactured home to be placed outside of a manufactured home park as a short-term living arrangement. This is permitted when a permanent home is under construction, has been damaged or destroyed, or when comparable hardship circumstances exist. The temporary permit carries a 12-month limit, though the Town Board may grant one additional 12-month extension.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers should be aware that under ch. 83 § 83-7, placing a manufactured home on a site outside a designated manufactured home park as an interim dwelling requires a temporary permit from the Sodus Town Board. A compliant operator ensures the manufactured home is removed by the permit's expiration date and, if continued use is necessary, applies to the Town Board for the available 12-month extension before the original permit lapses. Keeping documentation of the construction timeline or hardship circumstances on hand supports the permit application and any extension request.

Under Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-7, individuals living in a manufactured home under a temporary permit have a defined right to occupy that dwelling for up to 12 months, with the possibility of a Town Board-approved extension of another 12 months. If a hardship situation changes or the construction timeline shifts, tenants or occupants may wish to confirm the permit's current status with the Sodus Town Board directly. Those with questions about their rights in this type of interim housing arrangement can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with New York housing law.
