Under § 220-13, operators of manufactured home communities in Southampton are the named responsible party when any provision of Chapter 220 is violated. A compliant operator generally maintains ongoing awareness of all chapter requirements and addresses any deficiencies promptly, since each week of continued non-compliance is treated as a new, independent violation that can compound financial and legal exposure. Keeping thorough maintenance records and conducting regular inspections are practices commonly associated with sustained compliance.
