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.

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shall pay to the Town Clerk the fee required by this chapter without any credit for the fee paid for the permit which was revoked.
