Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 220 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 220-6
Licensing procedures
Operative Text
A. Completed applications shall be submitted to the Public Safety Administrator, who shall inspect the site that the applicant proposes to operate or to continue operating and issue a report to the Town Board within 30 days, recommending the approval, disapproval or approval with conditions of the issuance of a license to the applicant. The report by the Public Safety Administrator shall take into consideration the results of the on-site inspection and any information contained within the files of the Public Safety Administrator relevant to the applicant as a manufactured home community operator. B. The Town Board may issue a new license or renew a previously issued license upon review of the application and the report and recommendation of the Public Safety Administrator, or the Town Board may schedule a public hearing upon the application. At least 10 days' notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in the official newspaper of the Town as designated by the Town Board, and the Town Clerk shall also post said notice on the official signboard of the Town. The applicant shall also post written notice, at least 10 days before the hearing, at the entrance of the manufactured home community which the applicant proposes to operate. Following a duly noticed public hearing, the Town Board may either approve, approve with conditions or deny the application. Where the Town Board denies an application for a license or the renewal of a license, the reasons of said denial shall be stated, in writing, and provided to the applicant.
Under Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 220 § 220-6, operators of manufactured home communities must submit a completed license application that triggers a site inspection and written report by the Public Safety Administrator within 30 days. The Town Board then reviews that report and may grant, renew, or deny the license, or opt to hold a public hearing with at least 10 days' published and posted notice. If a license or renewal is denied, the Town Board is required to provide the applicant with a written statement of the reasons for that denial.

Operators subject to Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 220 § 220-6 generally ensure their applications are complete before submission, since the Public Safety Administrator's site inspection and report form the foundation of the Town Board's licensing decision. Compliant operators also prepare for the possibility of a public hearing by posting the required written notice at the community entrance at least 10 days in advance. When a license is denied, the written statement of reasons provided under § 220-6 can inform how an operator addresses deficiencies in any subsequent application.

Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 220 § 220-6 establishes a public process for licensing manufactured home communities, which means residents of those communities may have an opportunity to participate if the Town Board schedules a public hearing on a license application or renewal. Notice of any such hearing must be published in the Town's official newspaper and posted on the Town's official signboard, giving community members a chance to learn about and attend the proceeding. Tenants who have concerns about a community's licensing status may wish to contact the Southampton Town Clerk or a tenant-rights organization to understand what participation options are available under this provision.
