Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-55 establishes a recordkeeping requirement for manufactured housing park operators. The rule mandates that a register be maintained containing detailed information about each resident, unit owner, responsible maintenance contact, and the unit itself, including arrival and departure dates. This register must remain on park property, be accessible to authorized government and public health officials at any time, and be retained for at least three years after a resident departs.

Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-55, compliant park operators maintain an up-to-date register on park property at all times, capturing resident names and addresses, unit owner contact information, a designated maintenance-responsible party, unit make and model details, licensing jurisdiction, and move-in and move-out dates. The register must be immediately available for inspection by city, state, county, and public health officials without advance notice. Operators generally retain each departed resident's record for a full three years following their departure date before any destruction of that record is permissible.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-55 gives residents of manufactured housing parks an indirect protection through the park operator's duty to maintain accurate records, including each occupant's name, address, and dates of residency. If a resident believes the park operator is failing to maintain or properly retain these records, that concern can generally be raised with Hopkins city officials or public health authorities who are authorized to inspect the register. Tenants who have questions about how this recordkeeping requirement may affect their situation can consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with manufactured housing regulations.
