Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Stillwater ch. 134 § 134-9, operators of manufactured home parks generally ensure that any replacement or relocated home is placed on a properly surveyed lot meeting the applicable square footage and width minimums—6,000 sq ft / 75 ft for single-wide units and 8,000 sq ft / 100 ft for double-wide units. Compliant park operators confirm that each incoming home bears both a New York State warranty seal and a HUD seal, observe all required setbacks from lot lines, park boundaries, public roads, and internal roadways, and arrange for Code Enforcement Officer inspection before placement. Perimeter skirting is typically installed within 30 days of the home being placed on its stand, and all data required under § 134-6A is submitted to the Code Enforcement Officer in advance.

Stillwater ch. 134 § 134-9 provides residents of manufactured home parks with baseline protections whenever a home in the park is changed, replaced, or relocated—including minimum lot sizes, surveyed boundary markers, required safety seals, setback distances, and a mandatory pre-placement inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer. If a tenant believes these standards have not been met in connection with a home in their park, they may consider contacting the Stillwater Code Enforcement Officer to inquire about compliance or inspection records. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured housing law can help residents understand what documentation they are entitled to review and what options may be available to them.
