The rule covers the integrity of body framing, roofing, insulation, chassis components, hitches, axles, and how a unit must be secured once placed on a stand.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 122-52, operators and owners of mobile home parks or rental units are generally expected to ensure that any mobile home on their property meets the structural, insulation, and placement standards described in the ordinance. Compliant operators typically document that roofs drain properly, framing is surface-treated against deterioration, chassis components are load-rated, and each unit is secured on its stand by jacks or supports. Keeping maintenance records and conducting periodic inspections of body framing, ventilation, and chassis hardware are practices commonly associated with ongoing compliance.
