Section 174-19 of Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 174 establishes a set of ongoing maintenance standards for mobile home courts. The rule requires that the overall property, its structures, and open areas be kept safe, sanitary, and orderly — covering everything from weed and pest control to proper garbage disposal and the upkeep of exterior wood surfaces. It also addresses the management of domestic animals, prohibiting them from roaming freely within the court.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home courts subject to § 174-19 generally maintain documented routines for inspecting and addressing physical hazards, pest activity, overgrown vegetation, and deteriorating exterior surfaces. Compliant operators ensure that garbage collection and disposal systems meet sanitary standards and that any extermination methods align with accepted industry practices. Pet policies consistent with the provision's requirement that animals not run at large are typically communicated clearly to residents and enforced consistently.

Residents of mobile home courts in Walden are protected by the maintenance standards set out in § 174-19, which entitle them to a living environment that is safe, sanitary, and free from hazards such as pest infestations, dangerous structures, and unsanitary refuse conditions. If conditions in the court appear to fall short of these standards, tenants may consider documenting the issues and reporting them to the relevant Walden municipal code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help residents understand the range of options available when a court appears to be out of compliance with ch. 174.
