The purpose of the act is to implement the provisions of the
Federal Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000. The Act
provides for the certification of manufacturers, retailers, installers
and mechanics (servicing the structural parts of the home). The law only
applies to the federally approved manufactured homes and the relocations
of mobile homes, not New York State approved modular homes. It provides
for the establishment of training and continuing education programs,
standards for warranty seals and bonding requirements. The Act provides
for the creation of the Manufactured Housing Advisory Council and
dispute resolution process. It also provides for the establishment of
penalties for violations and other provisions for compliance with
federal laws.
The Department of State, Division of
Code Enforcement and Administration will continue to update our web site
to provide more information as it becomes available. Applications for
the purchase of the warranty seals are currently available in PDF
format. With-in the next few days the applications for certification
will be available to download with further information about the process
to apply. The certification of manufacturers, retailers, installers and
mechanics will not be required until July 1st, 2006.
Check back for further updates as
they become available.
