Each mobile home park and all parts thereof shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition at all times. C. Non-self-contained units. No mobile home park shall permit the parking of non-self-contained units unless the mobile home park is equipped with and provides separate toilets, lavatories, showers and tubs for each sex in adequate numbers to satisfactorily service the park.
