Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 104-8
Correction of unsanitary conditions; revocation of permit
Operative Text
If a police officer, health officer or any authorized representative of the Town of Waterford finds that any mobile home park is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or is not being conducted in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, such facts shall thereupon be reported to the Town Board and said Town Board may direct the Town Clerk to serve an order in writing upon the holder of the permit or the person in charge of said park, directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied within 10 days after date of service of such order. If such conditions are not corrected after the expiration of said ten-day period, the Town Board may cause a notice in writing to be served upon the holder of said permit or the person in charge of such mobile home park, requiring the holder of the permit to appear before the Town Board of the Town of Waterford at a time to be specified in such notice and to show cause why such mobile home park permit should not be revoked. The Town Board may, after a hearing to which testimony of witnesses may be taken, and the holder of the permit shall be heard, revoke such permit if said Town Board shall find that said park is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, or if it finds that any provisions of this chapter have been violated or for other sufficient cause. Upon the revocation of such permit, the premises shall forthwith cease to be used for the purpose of a mobile home park, and all mobile homes shall forthwith be removed therefrom.
Under Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 § 104-8, when an authorized town official finds that a mobile home park is not kept in a clean and sanitary condition or is otherwise out of compliance with chapter requirements, the Town Board may issue a written order giving the permit holder ten days to correct the problem. If the violations remain unaddressed after that period, the Town Board may hold a formal hearing and ultimately revoke the park's operating permit. A revocation requires all mobile homes to be removed from the premises and the site to cease operating as a mobile home park.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Waterford should be aware that § 104-8 establishes a two-step enforcement process: first a written correction order with a ten-day cure window, then a show-cause hearing before the Town Board if violations persist. Compliant operators generally maintain ongoing sanitary conditions, respond promptly to any written orders from the Town Clerk, and appear at any scheduled hearings to demonstrate corrective action. Because permit revocation under this section requires all residents to vacate, proactive maintenance and timely communication with town officials are central to continued operation.

Residents of mobile home parks in Waterford benefit from § 104-8 because it gives the Town Board authority to compel park operators to address unsanitary or non-compliant conditions through a formal written-order process. If a park's permit is ultimately revoked under this provision, residents receive notice through the town's hearing process, which includes an opportunity for testimony. Tenants who believe their park is being maintained in violation of chapter 104 may report concerns to the Town of Waterford or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available to them.
