Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-56, operators of manufactured home parks generally ensure that each home's exterior doorways are equipped with code-compliant landings and steps, and that no obstructions are placed in front of or against any door. Routine inspections of common areas and individual home sites can help confirm that exit pathways remain clear and functional. Maintaining documentation of these inspections is a practice commonly associated with ongoing compliance.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-56 gives residents of manufactured home parks the right to have safe, unobstructed exits with proper landings and steps at every doorway. If a landing is missing, steps are non-compliant, or a door cannot be opened freely from the inside, this may constitute a code violation that can be reported to the Hopkins city building or housing department. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing can help residents understand what options are generally available when exit conditions fall short of what this provision requires.
