This Part 2 shall be known as "Housing Standards Applicable
to Mobile Homes and Mobile Home Courts."
The purpose of this Part 2 is to provide basic and uniform standards
in terms of performance objectives implemented by specific requirements
governing the construction, occupancy and maintenance of mobile homes
and mobile home courts and to establish reasonable safeguards for
the safety, health and welfare of the occupants and users thereof.
This Part 2 shall apply to mobile homes used or intended to
be used for year-round dwelling accommodations in fixed locations
and to mobile home courts.
A.
The provisions of this Part 2 shall supersede local laws, ordinances,
codes or regulations to the extent that such laws, ordinances, codes
or regulations are inconsistent with the provisions of this Part 2,
provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent
the adoption and enforcement of a law, ordinance or regulation which
is more restrictive or establishes a higher standard than those provided
in this Part 2, and such more restrictive requirement or higher standard
shall govern during the period in which it is in effect.
B.
In a case where a provision of this Part 2 is found to be in conflict
with a provision of a zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, fire,
safety, health, water supply or sewage disposal law or ordinance,
or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, or other local law, ordinance,
code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is the more
restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
A.

home courts, and materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in connection
therewith, shall be reasonably safe to persons and property and shall

rules and regulations issued by authority thereof.

Except as otherwise provided in this Part 2, conformity of installations,
alterations and repairs of mobile home court buildings and their accessory
structures and of materials, assemblies and equipment utilized in
connection with such buildings and structures with the applicable
requirements of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building

or equipment is reasonably safe to persons and property.
