Operative Text
Sec. 6. (a) The community building of a mobile home community, when provided, shall be constructed in accordance with the electrical, plumbing, and other building codes of the state and the municipal unit in which the community is located. Construction of the building must be in accordance with a plan approved by the department as well as by the department of fire and building services. (b) All exterior openings shall be covered with sixteen (16) mesh screen or equivalent during periods of the year when insects are prevalent. (c) Toilet and laundry rooms shall be constructed so that they can be well-lighted at all times. The laundry rooms shall have illumination of at least forty (40) foot-candles on work areas such as washtubs, ironing boards, and sorting tables. The toilet rooms shall have illumination of forty (40) foot-candles in front of mirrors. (d) Sufficient hot water heating facilities shall be available so that the temperature of the hot water is maintained at a minimum of one hundred twenty (120) degrees Fahrenheit at all times for laundry facilities. (e) Laundry trays and automatic washers shall be connected to the sanitary sewer. (f) Community buildings shall be located at least fifteen (15) feet from any mobile home or manufactured home. (g) Community buildings shall be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition at all times.
Indiana Administrative Code 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-6 establishes construction and maintenance standards for community buildings in mobile home communities. When such a building is provided, it must meet state and local building codes, receive plan approval from the relevant state departments, maintain specific lighting levels in toilet and laundry rooms, keep hot water at or above 120°F for laundry use, and be sited at least 15 feet from any mobile or manufactured home. Exterior openings must be screened during insect season, laundry equipment must connect to the sanitary sewer, and the building must be kept clean and sanitary at all times.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home communities in Indiana who provide a community building must ensure that facility complies with every requirement of 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-6 before and during its use. Compliant operators typically obtain plan approval from both the state department and the department of fire and building services prior to construction, verify that lighting meets the 40-foot-candle minimums in laundry and toilet areas, confirm hot water temperatures reach at least 120°F at laundry fixtures, and keep the building at least 15 feet from any home on the property. Ongoing maintenance obligations include keeping exterior openings screened during insect-prevalent periods and maintaining the entire building in a clean and sanitary condition at all times.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of Indiana mobile home communities have an interest in knowing that 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-6 sets enforceable standards for any community building their landlord provides, covering lighting, hot water temperature, screening, sewer connections, setback distances, and general sanitation. If a community building appears to fall short of these standards—such as inadequate lighting, insufficient hot water, or poor sanitation—tenants may document the conditions and consider reporting concerns to the Indiana State Department of Health or the local code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
