Operators of mobile home parks in Palmyra must ensure that every lot complies with the physical standards set out in § 121-18 of Chapter 121. Compliant operators typically maintain compacted, properly graded stands; install weatherproof, grounded electrical receptacles; keep water supply connections safely separated from sanitary drainage; and ensure gas connections are gastight where gas service is offered. Accessory structures, patios, and storage lockers are generally kept in durable, functional condition appropriate to their use and location.
