Section 179-29 of Albion Village's Code of Ordinances establishes safety standards for fuel supply and storage systems in mobile home parks, covering natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and fuel oil. Each type of system must be installed and maintained according to applicable codes, with specific requirements for shutoff valves, pressure-relief devices, container sizing, and physical placement. The rule is designed to reduce risks of accidental gas discharge, fire, and structural hazards by setting clear parameters for how fuel systems are configured and secured on mobile home lots.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to § 179-29 generally ensure that every gas-piped lot has an approved manual shutoff valve and capped outlet, and that LPG containers fall within the 12-to-60-gallon gross capacity range and are secured against tipping without being permanently fixed. Compliant park managers also verify that fuel oil storage tanks are placed at least five feet from any mobile home exit, are not located inside or beneath any structure, and are protected from traffic damage where applicable. Routine inspections of all piping, supports, and safety devices help demonstrate ongoing compliance with the installation and maintenance standards outlined in this section.

Under § 179-29, residents of mobile home lots in Albion Village have a right to fuel supply systems that meet established safety standards, including properly installed shutoff valves, secured containers, and correctly placed fuel oil tanks. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short of these requirements—such as unsecured LPG containers, missing shutoff valve caps, or fuel tanks positioned too close to exits—they may document the issue and report it to the appropriate local code enforcement or health authority referenced in the ordinance. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing agencies can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
