Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-49, operators of manufactured home parks generally designate a qualified caretaker or attendant — whether themselves, a co-owner, or a formally appointed representative — to maintain continuous oversight of the property's cleanliness and order. Operators of parks exceeding 50 lots take additional steps to ensure that a responsible employee is reachable and available around the clock for emergency situations. Maintaining clear documentation of who holds the caretaker role and how they can be contacted is a common practice among compliant park operators.
