Requirements of this section are applicable to all mobile home parks within the Town of West Seneca. (1) Renewal of license. (a) Approval of the license renewal application, accompanied by the stipulated fee per mobile home lot, shall be based upon demonstration that the design and maintenance of the park is in accordance with the requirements at the time of approval of the construction permit for the park. However, the park owner shall be required to make changes or improvements as required by amendments to town laws and ordinances subsequent to the issuance of the construction permit and within the effective date of the amendments. (b) Prior to renewal license being issued, inspection of the mobile home park shall be completed by the Town Building Inspector and/or the Town Engineer or such person designated by the Town Board. Written approval of the inspecting officer shall be affixed to the renewal application. (2) Transfer of license. Licenses are not transferable except upon written application to and approval by the Town Board of the Town of West Seneca. B. Register. All park owners shall keep a register of the year, make, serial number and size of mobile homes in their parks, said register to be maintained in the office of the park owner. The names and addresses of the mobile home owners shall also be on file and available for inspection by the Building Inspector or his designee. C. Maintenance. The person to whom a license has been issued shall operate the mobile home park in compliance with this chapter and shall provide adequate supervision on site to maintain the park, its facilities and equipment in good repair and in a clean, sanitary condition. D. Inspections. A representative of the Town of West Seneca may inspect a mobile home park at reasonable intervals and at reasonable times to determine compliance with this chapter and other regulations or ordinances of the Town of West Seneca.
West Seneca, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 80 § 80-4 establishes a licensing and oversight framework for mobile home parks operating within the Town of West Seneca. A license, costing $10 per mobile home lot and valid for twelve months, must be obtained from the Town Clerk after the Building Inspector confirms all code requirements are met. Licenses must be renewed annually following a physical inspection, cannot be transferred without Town Board approval, and park operators are required to keep a register of residents and maintain the park in a clean, sanitary, and well-supervised condition. Town representatives may inspect the park at reasonable times to verify ongoing compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under West Seneca, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 80 § 80-4, compliant mobile home park operators obtain and renew their annual license on time, paying the $10-per-lot fee and scheduling the required Building Inspector or Town Engineer inspection before each renewal. Operators maintain an up-to-date register of mobile home details and resident names and addresses in their on-site office, making it available for inspection by the Building Inspector or a designee. When the Town amends its laws or ordinances after a construction permit was issued, operators incorporate any required changes or improvements within the effective date of those amendments and ensure the park remains in good repair and sanitary condition at all times.

West Seneca, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 80 § 80-4 gives residents of mobile home parks certain baseline protections: the park must be licensed, regularly inspected, and kept in clean, sanitary, and well-maintained condition under active on-site supervision. If a park appears to be operating without a current license or is not being maintained as the provision requires, residents may contact the Town of West Seneca Building Inspector's office, which has authority to inspect the park and review compliance. Tenants who believe their park is out of compliance with ch. 80 § 80-4 may also wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand the options available to them.
