LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2247, Wallis.
Mobilehome Parks Act: enforcement: notice of violations: Manufactured Housing Opportunity and Revitalization (MORE) Program: annual fee.
Existing law, the Mobilehome Parks Act, establishes requirements for the construction, maintenance, occupancy, use, and design of mobilehome parks. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to enforce the act, unless a city, county, or city and county has assumed responsibility for enforcement. A violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.
Existing law requires an enforcement agency to enter and inspect mobilehome parks to ensure enforcement of the act, as specified. Existing law requires an enforcement agency in developing its mobilehome park maintenance inspection program to inspect the mobilehome parks that the enforcement agency determines have complaints that have been made to the enforcement agency regarding serious health and safety violations in the park. Existing law requires enforcement agencies,
not less than 30 days before an inspection, to provide individual written notice of the inspection to the registered owners of the manufactured homes or mobilehomes, the occupants thereof, and the owner or operator of the mobilehome park, as specified. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2025.
This bill would extend that repeal date to January 1, 2030.
Existing law requires an enforcement agency to issue a notice to correct a violation to specified parties depending on the violation and provides for procedures for owners or operators to dispute and appeal a notice of violation, as specified. Existing law repeals these notice provisions on January 1, 2025.
This bill would extend that repeal date to January 1, 2030.
Existing law requires the department to develop a list of local agencies that have home rehabilitation or
repair programs for which registered owners or occupants of manufactured homes and mobilehomes residing in mobilehome parks may be eligible. Existing law requires the enforcement agency to provide that list to a registered owner or occupant who receives a notice of violation and who resides in those jurisdictions that have rehabilitation or repair programs for which they may be eligible.
Existing law authorizes the department, pursuant to the Manufactured Housing Opportunity and Revitalization (MORE) Program, to make loans or grants, as applicable, to resident organizations, individual low-income residents of mobilehome parks, qualified nonprofit housing sponsors, and local public entities for specified purposes, including financing mobilehome park acquisition, conversion, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and replacement.
This bill would require the department to include, in the list provided with a notice of violation,
local recipients of loans from the MORE program.
The Mobilehome Parks Act imposes prescribed fees, including, among others, a fee of $4 per lot to be used exclusively for the inspection of mobilehome parks and mobilehomes to determine compliance with the act. Existing law repeals the $4 fee per lot on January 1, 2025.
This bill would extend that repeal date to January 1, 2030.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 18420 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by SB 1108 to be operative only if this bill and SB 1108 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
Because this bill would extend the application of a crime under the Mobilehome Parks Act, it would impose a state-mandated local
program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 18400.1 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:18400.1.
(a) In accordance with subdivision (b), the enforcement agency shall enter and inspect mobilehome parks, as required under this part, with a goal of inspecting at least 5 percent of the parks per year, to ensure enforcement of this part and the regulations adopted pursuant to this part. The enforcement agency’s inspection shall include an inspection of the exterior portions of individual manufactured homes and mobilehomes in each park inspected. Any notices of violation of this part shall be issued pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 18420).(b) In developing its mobilehome park maintenance inspection program, the enforcement agency shall inspect the mobilehome parks that
the enforcement agency determines have complaints that have been made to the enforcement agency regarding serious health and safety violations in the park. A single complaint of a serious health and safety violation shall not automatically trigger an inspection of the entire park unless upon investigation of that single complaint the enforcement agency determines that there is a violation and that an inspection of the entire park is necessary.
(c) This part does not allow the enforcement agency to issue a notice for a violation of existing laws or regulations that were not violations of the laws or regulations at the time the mobilehome park received its original permit to operate, or the standards governing any subsequent permit to construct, or at the time the manufactured home or mobilehome received its original installation permit, unless
the enforcement agency determines that a condition of the park, manufactured home, or mobilehome endangers the life, limb, health, or safety of the public or occupants thereof.
(d) Not less than 30 days prior to the inspection of a mobilehome park under this section, the enforcement agency shall provide individual written notice of the inspection to the registered owners of the manufactured homes or mobilehomes, with a copy of the notice to the occupants thereof, if different than the registered owners, and to the owner or operator of the mobilehome park and the responsible person, as defined in Section 18603.
(e) At the sole discretion of the enforcement agency’s inspector, a representative of either the park operator or the mobilehome owners may accompany the inspector during the
inspection if that request is made to the enforcement agency or the inspector requests a representative to accompany them. If either party requests permission to accompany the inspector or is requested by the inspector to accompany them, the other party shall also be given the opportunity, with reasonable notice, to accompany the inspector. Only one representative of the park owner and one representative of the mobilehome owners in the park may accompany the inspector at any one time during the inspection. If more than one representative of the mobilehome owners in the park requests permission to accompany the inspector, the enforcement agency may adopt procedures for choosing that representative.
(f) The enforcement agency shall coordinate a preinspection orientation for mobilehome owners and mobilehome park operators with
the use of an audiovisual presentation furnished by the department to affected local enforcement agencies. Enforcement agencies shall furnish the audiovisual presentation to park operators and mobilehome owner representatives in each park subject to inspection not less than 30 days prior to the inspection. Additionally, it is the Legislature’s intent that the department shall, where practicable, conduct live presentations, forums, and outreach programs throughout the state to orient mobilehome owners and park operators on the mobilehome park maintenance inspection program and their rights and obligations under the program.
(g) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2030, and as of that date is repealed.

as determined by the enforcement agency. Notices of those violations shall state the time determined by the enforcement agency within which corrections must be made.
