Overview
New York State has approximately 84,956 manufactured home households in nearly 1,818 manufactured home parks. They comprise a vulnerable community that often encounters difficulties due to the fact that the majority of manufactured home households are both homeowners and tenants. The uniqueness of this type of tenancy combined with the high cost of moving the units and, in certain areas of New York State, the scarce number of parks with vacancies, makes tenants' rights of the utmost concern to the manufactured home park tenants. New York State Homes and Community Renewal is here to help.
Manufactured Home Park Online Annual Registration
On or before January 1st of each year manufactured home park owners or operators must file an annual registration statement with DHCR as required by MHP Real Property Law Section 233. In order to facilitate this requirement the Manufactured Home Park Online System (MHP Online System) should be used to register manufactured home parks.
General Information
How to File a Complaint
What is the Manufactured Homes Complaint Program?
Section 233 of the New York State Real Property Law governs tenants’ rights in manufactured home parks. DHCR has the authority to enforce RPL 233. The Manufactured Homes Complaint Program was created to allow tenants to inquire about their rights under RPL 233 or initiate complaints if they feel their rights are being violated. DHCR trained staff work with park owners and tenants to resolve disputes in compliance with the requirements of the statute.
