Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-53, operators of mobile home parks are generally expected to monitor snowfall and begin plowing internal private streets as soon as accumulation surpasses two inches. Compliant park managers also maintain a shoveling and sanding routine that keeps sidewalks, steps, and other pedestrian pathways clear of snow and ice without undue delay. Keeping records of snow-removal activities and maintaining adequate supplies of sand and equipment on hand are practices commonly associated with meeting this standard.
