For Property Managers

Operators seeking to run a manufactured home community in Southampton must comply with the sworn-application process outlined in § 220-5 before receiving a license. A compliant operator gathers all required disclosures in advance — including tax map numbers, criminal history details, prior licensing records, and a current copy of the state registration statement filed under Real Property Law § 233 — and submits them on the official form provided by the Public Safety Administrator. Operators also stay current on the application fee amount, which is set by Southampton Town Board resolution and subject to change.

For Tenants

Residents of manufactured home communities in Southampton benefit from § 220-5 because it requires community operators to be formally licensed and to disclose their background, experience, and compliance with state registration requirements before operating. If a community operator appears to be unlicensed or has not met the application requirements of ch. 220, tenants may raise that concern with the Southampton Public Safety Administrator or relevant town authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured home community law can help residents understand what protections flow from an operator's licensing obligations under this provision.
