Insect and rodent harborage, infestation control
Operative Text
Manufactured home parks including storage areas, shall be maintained free of accumulations of debris or other materials, which may provide rodent harborage or breeding places for flies, mosquitoes and other pests.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-40 establishes that manufactured home parks, along with their storage areas, must be kept clear of debris and other accumulated materials that could shelter rodents or serve as breeding grounds for flies, mosquitoes, and similar pests. The rule targets conditions that attract or sustain infestations rather than the pests themselves. It applies to the park as a whole, not just individual units.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-40, operators of manufactured home parks generally maintain regular inspection and cleanup schedules for common areas and storage zones to prevent debris from accumulating. Compliant park managers typically remove waste, clutter, and standing materials that could harbor rodents or provide mosquito and fly breeding conditions. Keeping records of maintenance activities and pest-control measures is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
