Operators of mobile home parks in Cambria must ensure that community service facilities comply with the structural, sanitary, and fire-safety requirements of Ch. 127 § 127-18. A compliant park provides the required ratio of flush toilets, lavatories, and showers for each sex per 50 lots, constructs sanitary rooms with waterproof, moisture-resistant walls and adequate ventilation, and ensures all plumbing fixtures receive the appropriate hot and cold water supply. Park managers also maintain cooking and fire facilities in a manner that prevents fire hazards and smoke nuisances, prohibit unattended open fires, and ensure no refuse or dense-smoke-producing materials are burned at any time.
