Before allowing any new mobile home to be occupied, operators generally confirm that a certificate of occupancy has been issued and signed by the Board of Health as required under this section.

Under CH. 363 § 363-9, residents of mobile home parks in North Attleborough have an interest in knowing that their homes and the park's infrastructure are required to meet specific building, electrical, and plumbing codes, and that their unit must have functioning hardwired smoke detectors.
