B. 
Anchoring. Every mobile home shall be anchored to the mobile home stand where it is located prior to the unit's being occupied or used in any other way or the expiration of seven days, whichever occurs first. The anchoring system shall be designed to resist a minimum wind velocity of 90 miles per hour.

Stability. All mobile homes shall, prior to occupancy or other use, be affixed to their mobile home stands in such a way so as to prevent tilting of the unit.
