Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
The Township Commissioners are responsible for the enforcement of this chapter. Periodic inspections of mobile home parks shall be made by a designated representative at reasonable intervals. The Township Commissioners shall have the power to revoke permits to operate mobile home parks for the noncompliance with the provisions of this chapter or as otherwise provided hereunder.
The permits required by this chapter are not transferable either to a new location or to a new permittee at the same location.
No person holding a permit under this chapter shall extend or reduce the area of any mobile home park, add any new facility or structure, or eliminate any existing facility or structure, until notice of such proposed change shall have been given to the Township and the Township shall have ascertained, after investigation as in the case of an original application for a permit, that such proposed change is in accordance with all the requirements of this chapter. The Township shall either:
A. 
Approve the changes;
B. 
Designate the reasons why the changes cannot be made; or
C. 
Advise the applicant of which additional changes are required in order to comply with the chapter before the proposed changes will be approved.
Any permit issued by the Township shall be subject to revocation by the Township for the violation by the person holding said permit(s) of any provision of this chapter, any of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder pertaining hereto and shall also be subject to revocation by the Township if the person holding said permit(s), under cover of such permit(s), violates or aids or abets in violating, or knowingly permits to be violated, any penal ordinances of the Township or laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any rules or regulations thereunder.
Upon conviction of any violation of this chapter, the permit and/or operating permit shall be automatically canceled. The mobile home park shall not be operated as such until a new application shall be made for a permit and/or operating permit hereunder, which application shall contain, in addition to all other items required by this chapter, reasonable assurances to prevent further violations of the nature for which conviction was a result. The Township Commissioners, by resolution, may suspend the permit and/or operating permit, and thus suspend the operation of a mobile home park, upon receipt of evidence of a violation. Such suspended permit and/or operating permit may be reinstated for the balance of the year for which it was issued, upon compliance of the holder thereof with all conditions for reinstatement set forth in the resolution of suspension. No person shall operate a mobile home park during the time when a permit and/or an operating permit therefor shall have been canceled or suspended.
