What are mobile home park inspections primarily focused on?

Mobile home park inspections are primarily focused on unannounced checks of parks for regulatory compliance. This means the inspections are conducted to ensure that parks adhere to state and local laws and regulations governing health, safety, and the overall operation of the park. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for maintaining safe living conditions for residents and upholding the park's standards.

Inspectors may assess various aspects, such as the condition of facilities, availability of services, and adherence to safety codes. The unannounced nature of these inspections is vital because it allows inspectors to observe the park's operations as they occur in real-time, ensuring that park owners and managers maintain regulatory compliance consistently rather than just preparing for scheduled visits.

While annual checks for improvements, routine maintenance assessments, and resident satisfaction surveys are important activities, they do not capture the primary objective of inspections, which is to enforce regulations and ensure compliance to protect residents' welfare.
