The operator and owner shall be responsible for maintaining all common facilities, including but not limited to roads, parking areas, sidewalks or pathways, common open space, water supply and sewage disposal systems and service buildings, in a condition of proper repair, maintenance and cleanliness in compliance with applicable township ordinances, codes and regulations. If upon inspection by a Zoning Officer or other representative it is determined that the mobile home park is not in compliance with this standard of maintenance, the licensee shall be considered to be in violation of this chapter, and the Zoning Officer shall notify the operator or licensee of the particulars of any such violation.
The operator and licensee shall thereafter have 30 days in which to correct any such violations, except that if the violation is determined by the Zoning Officer or other representative to constitute a hazard to the health or safety of the residents of the mobile home park, he shall order that the violation be corrected forthwith.
A. 
The licensee of a mobile home park shall, prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy pursuant to final approval of an application, post with the township a maintenance bond in a form acceptable to the Township Solicitor in an amount sufficient to cover, for a period of two years, the cost of maintenance of all common facilities as defined in § 51-17, as determined by the Township Zoning Officer or other representative. The bond shall remain in effect for the duration of the operation of the mobile home park.
B. 
In the event of noncompliance with an order pursuant to § 51-18, whether a thirty-day order or an order to correct violations forthwith, the township may forfeit the maintenance bond and use the proceeds thereof to effect corrections of the violations.
The operator shall maintain a register of all occupants and notify the governing body of the names and addresses of all new occupants and of occupants who have departed.
No mobile home may be installed in or removed from a mobile home park unless the Zoning Officer has issued a building permit therefor. No such permit may be issued until the Zoning Officer receives a removal permit issued by the local Tax Collector demonstrating compliance with the Act of December 15, 1969, P.L. 362, § 1.[1]
