Under § 127-20, compliant mobile home park operators and property managers generally conduct regular inspections to identify and eliminate rodent harborage, ensure that lumber, pipe, and other building materials are stored at least one foot above the ground, and keep all exterior openings properly screened with cement block or other suitable materials.
