c. When new apartments are being erected or existing ones remodeled, postmasters will inform builders and owners of these regulations’ requirements and will provide appropriate advice and inspection to en­sure that safe and durable receptacles are properly located and installed in conformance with regula­tions. Postal Service–approved parcel lockers may be used with approved mail receptacles.
631.46 Mobile or Trailer Homes
631.461 Options
The delivery options for mobile or trailer home develop­ments depend on Postal Service determination of whether the development is permanent or transient.
631.462 Permanent Developments
Permanent developments consist of managed mobile home parks or residential mobile home subdivisions where the lots are permanently assigned, the streets are main­tained for public use, and the conditions resemble those of a residential subdivision. For permanent developments, the delivery options are either central, curbside, or sidewalk delivery, as directed by the Postal Service under the regu­lations below.
a. Central Delivery
(1) Delivery service may be provided to a single point or receptacle designated by local management for the receipt of mail and distribution by its employees.
(2) Delivery service may be provided to one or more central points for the direct receipt of mail by postal customers within the area. The require­ments for such central delivery are as follows:
(a) Local Postal Service managers must approve the mailbox sites and equipment.
(b) Customers must not be required to travel an unreasonable distance to obtain their mail, and reasonable access must be provided to the equipment location.
b. Curbside Delivery.
Delivery service may only be provided to boxes at the curb, as directed by the Postal Service, so that they can be served efficiently, safely, and conveniently from the carrier’s vehicle and give customers reason­able and safe access. Mail receptacles may be grouped two to a property line where possible.
c. Sidewalk Delivery
(1) If the sidewalk abuts the curb or other unusual conditions exist (e.g., excessive street parking) that make it difficult or impractical to install or serve boxes at the curbline, customers with these situations may install boxes at the edge of the sidewalk nearest the residence where they can all be served by the carrier from the sidewalk.
