Can I live in an RV in Gloversville?

Section 170-3B lists tourist camps, farm-labor camps, travel trailers, campers, RVs, tents and manufactured-home parks as not permitted for dwelling purposes within the City. It defines a dwelling as any person or persons living in a structure for more than 30 days per calendar year. This is an annual threshold, not a fresh allowance for each visit.

Does that permit a stay of 30 days or less?

No blanket short-stay permission follows from the wording. The section states when the dwelling prohibition applies; it does not authorize the location, parking arrangement, a campground, utility connections or temporary guest sleeping. Section 170-4 also requires covered dwellings and rooms to comply with the housing chapter before occupancy for living, sleeping, cooking or eating.

What about unoccupied storage and street parking?

This guide addresses the City’s occupied-use rule. It does not establish private driveway or yard placement or a curb-parking time allowance. Give code enforcement the parcel, vehicle and proposed dates, and ask separately about unoccupied storage and occupancy. Ask police about the actual street or public lot.

What changed in the housing code?

The publisher identifies §170-3 as amended January 9, 2024 by Local Law 01-2024. The adopted document expressly adds the listed camping units and the more-than-30-days-per-calendar-year dwelling definition. Newer listed traffic amendments do not provide a substitute housing permission.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask the City of Gloversville code enforcement or zoning office about the parcel, vehicle category and intended use. Ask police or the traffic office about signs, public parking and current restrictions. This is a narrow housing-rule guide, not a 30-day camping permit or a storage determination. Check leases, deed restrictions and HOA rules separately.

Use the City of Gloversville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
