Operators and owners of mobile homes in Palmyra should ensure that every unit under their management conforms to the general requirements of § 121-10, covering construction materials, mechanical systems, and utility connections. Compliant operators routinely verify that plumbing, heating, and electrical systems are connected to approved supply sources whenever a unit is occupied, and that all equipment requiring maintenance is readily accessible. Ongoing maintenance practices that keep units free of hazardous conditions—such as faulty wiring, inadequate ventilation, or deteriorating structural components—reflect the standard of care this provision describes.
