Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home courts in Waverly are generally expected to keep their properties in continuous compliance with the full range of requirements set out in § 93-55. This means ensuring that drainage systems are functional, all walks and driveways are durably paved, overhead wires maintain the required 18-foot clearance, and adequate nighttime lighting is in place. Routine maintenance to preserve the residential character of the court is also part of ongoing compliance, as is enforcing the prohibition on occupied recreational vehicles on the premises.

Residents of manufactured home courts in Waverly may look to § 93-55 as a reference point for the physical conditions their court is required to maintain, including proper drainage, paved and accessible walkways, adequate lighting, and overall upkeep of the property's residential character.
