Under Linwood Township Code ch. 8, art.

Compliant operators routinely conduct inspections, address maintenance deficiencies promptly, and keep records of repairs to demonstrate ongoing compliance. Allowing a unit to fall into substandard condition exposes a property to potential enforcement action under this provision.
