It also sets out enforcement mechanisms and authorizes penalties against those who violate its standards or fail to correct identified deficiencies.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 174-1-1, Chapter 174 signals that community operators and owners of freestanding mobile homes carry defined responsibilities for maintaining compliance with East Hampton's mobile home standards. Compliant operators generally obtain the required permits, maintain conditions that meet the chapter's health, safety, and fire-safety standards, and promptly address any deficiencies identified during inspections. Because the chapter expressly authorizes penalties for noncompliance and for failure to correct violations, operators typically keep documentation of corrective actions taken in response to any noticed conditions.
