Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-12
Construction requirements
Operative Text
All mobile homes hereafter placed on any mobile home lot shall conform to and comply with all applicable mobile home construction requirements in effect as of the date of manufacture of the mobile home.
Section 98-12 of Spencer, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances requires that any mobile home placed on a mobile home lot after the ordinance's effective date must meet all applicable construction standards that were in force at the time the mobile home was originally manufactured. The rule ties compliance to the standards in effect at manufacture, not to later-adopted standards. This means a mobile home is evaluated against the regulatory framework that existed when it was built, rather than current construction codes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Spencer Code § 98-12, operators of mobile home parks or lots are generally expected to verify that any newly placed mobile home carries documentation showing it was built in conformance with the construction requirements applicable at its date of manufacture. Maintaining records such as HUD data plates, manufacturer certifications, or equivalent documentation helps demonstrate that a placed unit meets the standard the ordinance requires. Park managers who review these records before accepting a new placement are better positioned to show compliance with this provision.

Section 98-12 of the Spencer, N.Y. Code of Ordinances establishes that your mobile home must have been constructed in accordance with the standards in effect when it was manufactured, which is a baseline protection tied to the unit itself. If you believe a mobile home on your lot does not meet the construction requirements applicable at its date of manufacture, you may consider contacting the relevant Spencer or New York State housing or code enforcement office to inquire about the complaint process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing law can also help you understand what documentation or inspections may be relevant under this provision.
