Mobile home parks

Owners of mobile and manufactured homes who rent their units in mobile home parks will be required to provide park management with town-issued rental permits — and the park will be required to maintain the permits in its management office — under proposed code revisions set for a public hearing next month.

Drugs, prostitution and other criminal activity in some mobile home parks owned by large out-of-state corporation are turning retirement years sour for seniors. They are living in fear, says Riverhead Councilwoman Jodi Giglio, who is hosting a summit Saturday to discuss the problems.
