Southport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 352 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 352-4
License required; restrictions
Operative Text
No person or persons being the owner or occupant of any land or premises within the Town of Southport shall use or permit the use of such land or premises for: A. The establishment or maintenance of a mobile home park until a license for the establishment or maintenance of such mobile home park has been obtained as hereinafter provided; and after the issuance of such license, such parks shall not be maintained or operated other than in accordance with the applicable laws and terms of this chapter. B. The parking of any mobile home for the purpose of the same being used for living, sleeping or eating therein, except as hereinafter provided.
Southport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 352 § 352-4 establishes that no land or premises within the Town of Southport may be used as a mobile home park without first obtaining the required license, and once licensed, the park must continue to operate in compliance with applicable laws and the terms of the chapter. Separately, the provision prohibits parking a mobile home on any land or premises for the purpose of using it as a living, sleeping, or eating space, except where the chapter specifically allows it. These two restrictions together mean that both the operation of organized mobile home parks and the informal stationing of individual mobile homes for residential use are regulated activities under this provision.

Property owners and managers in the Town of Southport should be aware that under ch. 352 § 352-4, operating or maintaining a mobile home park requires obtaining a license before any such use begins. Compliant operators generally secure the required license in advance, ensure ongoing operations conform to all applicable laws, and avoid allowing individual mobile homes to be parked on their premises for residential purposes unless the chapter expressly permits it. Keeping documentation of licensure and monitoring compliance with the chapter's terms are practices commonly associated with lawful operation under this provision.

Under Southport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 352 § 352-4, tenants living in a mobile home park have an interest in knowing whether the park they reside in holds the required license and operates in accordance with the chapter's terms. If a park appears to be operating without a license or outside the chapter's requirements, tenants may have grounds to raise those conditions as concerns with the Town of Southport's relevant local authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a park's compliance is in question.
