Liquefied gas
Operative Text

Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-49 establishes safety requirements for liquefied gas systems in mobile home settings. The rule requires pressure-relief devices, a clearly accessible exterior shutoff, protected piping, and storage tanks of at least 100 pounds placed no closer than five feet from any exit. These requirements are designed to reduce fire and pressure hazards associated with liquid propane gas systems.

Under Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-49, operators of mobile home communities generally ensure that each liquefied gas system is equipped with functioning pressure-relief devices that discharge safely, and that at least one shutoff valve is accessible and located outside the individual mobile home. Compliant operators also verify that all LP gas piping is adequately supported and shielded from physical damage, and that storage tanks meet the 100-pound minimum and are sited at least five feet from any exit. Routine inspections of these systems help confirm ongoing compliance with the ordinance's requirements.

Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-49 gives residents of mobile homes a basis to expect that their liquefied gas systems include proper pressure-relief devices, an exterior shutoff, protected piping, and correctly positioned storage tanks. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short of these standards — such as an inaccessible shutoff or a tank placed too close to an exit — they may consider documenting the issue and contacting the local code enforcement office in Spencer. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when safety code concerns arise.
