Under ch. 154 § 154-18, operators of mobile home courts are generally expected to maintain all community areas and structures in a condition that matches their intended use and location. This includes ensuring that fences, walls, and similar constructions can bear anticipated loads, and that pools, playground equipment, and comparable amenities are designed and maintained to minimize hazard potential.

Section 154-18 gives residents of mobile home courts a basis to expect that shared spaces—such as playgrounds, pools, fences, and community buildings—are safe, structurally sound, and appropriate for their intended use. If a community area or structure appears to fall short of these standards, residents may consider documenting the condition and reporting it to the relevant local code enforcement authority in Lackawanna.
