Cal. Civ. Code § 38-12-221
Access by counties and municipalities.
Operative Text
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon a finding that the utilities in a park create a significant health or safety danger to park residents, the landlord of a mobile home park shall grant county or municipal officers or employees access to the mobile home park for the purposes of investigating or conducting a study related to such danger.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-221, when county or municipal authorities determine that utility conditions in a mobile home park pose a significant health or safety danger to residents, the park's landlord is required to allow government officers or employees to enter the property. This access is specifically for the purpose of investigating or studying the identified danger. The provision applies regardless of other laws that might otherwise limit such access.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-221, a compliant mobile home park operator recognizes that a formal finding of significant health or safety danger related to park utilities triggers a mandatory access obligation. Operators generally maintain clear records of utility systems and cooperate with county or municipal investigators when such a finding is made. Familiarity with this provision helps park management respond appropriately when government officers or employees request entry for investigative or study purposes.
