Section 174-18 of Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 establishes minimum safety standards for how fuels must be stored within a mobile home court. Liquefied petroleum gas containers holding more than 125 gallons must be placed at least 25 feet away from any mobile home, structure, building, or lot line, and must be positioned where vehicles cannot strike them. Fuel oil and other flammable materials must be stored in a manner that does not create a fire hazard.

Operators of mobile home courts in Walden are expected to maintain fuel storage arrangements that satisfy the requirements of § 174-18 at all times. For LP gas, that generally means verifying that any container exceeding 125 gallons is sited at least 25 feet from all structures and lot lines and is protected from vehicle traffic. Fuel oil and flammable materials should be stored in ways that eliminate fire-hazard conditions, and periodic site reviews can help confirm ongoing compliance.
