The Building Official of the Town of Binghamton
shall enforce all of the provisions of this chapter.
A.
If the Town Building Official finds and reports to
the Town Board that a mobile home park for which a permit has been
issued is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or
is not being operated in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
the Town Board may, by resolution, authorize personal service upon
the holder of the permit of a written order of the Town Board which
will require the holder of the permit to correct the conditions specified
in such order within 10 days after the service of such order.
[Amended 4-15-2003 by L.L. No. 1-2003]
B.
If the holder of such permit shall refuse or fail
to correct the condition or conditions specified in such order within
10 days after the personal service of such order, the Town Board may,
by resolution, revoke such permit, and the holder of the permit shall
thereupon terminate the operation of such mobile home park.
C.
However, if the owner or operator of such mobile home
park shall thereafter correct such condition or conditions and bring
the mobile home park into compliance with this chapter, such owner
may then apply for the issuance of a new permit for such park, and,
if the application is approved and a permit is granted, the applicant
shall pay to the Town Clerk the fee required by this chapter without
any credit for the fee paid for the permit which was revoked.
A.
If the Town Building Official finds and reports to the Town Board that any mobile home located outside of a licensed mobile home park is not being maintained in accordance with the provisions of §§ 148-25 and 148-26 of this chapter, the Town Board may cause to be served a written order of the Town Board 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 or conditions therein specified be remedied within 20 days of the date of service of the order.
[Amended 4-15-2003 by L.L. No. 1-2003]
B.
If such condition or conditions are not corrected
within such twenty-day period, the Town Board may revoke such permit.
Upon revocation of the permit, the mobile home shall be removed from
the premises.

venture or corporation who violated any provision of this chapter

This chapter does not except from its application
any person, partnership, association, joint venture or corporation
which heretofore may have received a license or permit from the Town
of Binghamton in accordance with the ordinance known as "An Ordinance
Regulating the Parking and Location of Automobile Trailers and Regulating
the Licensing, Location, Erection, Maintenance and Conduct of Automobile
Trailer Camps and Tourist Camps," or any earlier or other ordinance
of the Town concerning the same subject matter. This chapter applies
to any such licensee, subject, however, to any different legal rights
of such licensee heretofore established.
[Amended 4-15-2003 by L.L. No. 1-2003]
The Town Board is hereby authorized and shall
appoint a Building Official for the Town of Binghamton. Such Official
