Southport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 352 § 352-10 establishes a multi-step process by which a mobile home park license can be suspended or revoked. When the Code Enforcement Officer finds violations of sanitation or park regulations, the park operator is first given a written order and five days to correct the problem; if uncorrected, the matter escalates to a Town Board hearing where revocation becomes possible. A license is also automatically suspended if a felony or misdemeanor is committed on the licensed premises, though the licensee retains the right to a hearing before the Town Board within seven days of receiving suspension notice. Upon final revocation, the property must immediately cease operating as a mobile home park and all trailers must be removed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 352-10, a compliant mobile home park operator generally keeps the park in clean and sanitary condition and ensures ongoing adherence to all applicable regulations so that a Code Enforcement Officer inspection does not trigger a written correction order. If a correction order is issued, operators typically address the cited conditions within the five-day window to avoid escalation to a Town Board revocation hearing. When an automatic suspension arises from a criminal incident on the premises, operators are entitled to request a hearing before the Town Board within seven days of receiving notice, and attending that hearing with counsel is a recognized part of the process outlined in § 352-10.

Section 352-10 of Southport's Code of Ordinances provides a framework that can affect residents of a mobile home park if the park's license is suspended or revoked, since revocation requires all trailers to be removed from the premises. Tenants who observe unsanitary conditions or regulatory violations in their park may bring those concerns to the Code Enforcement Officer, whose inspection authority is the starting point of the enforcement process under § 352-10. Residents facing potential displacement due to a license revocation proceeding may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand what options and timelines may apply to their situation.
