If a police officer, health officer, member of the Town Board or any authorized representative of the Town of Waterford finds any house trailer outside a mobile home park is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or is not being maintained in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, such facts shall thereupon be reported to the Town Board and said Town Board may direct the Town Clerk to serve an order in writing upon the holder of the permit and/or the owner of the mobile home and/or the owner of the premises, directing that the condition therein specified be remedied within five days after the date of service of such order.

The Town Board may, after a hearing at which testimony of witnesses may be taken and the person so served shall be heard, revoke such permit if the Town Board shall find that said mobile home is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or if it finds that any provision of this chapter has been violated or for any other sufficient cause.
