Full Breakdown

Chapter 11, Article III sets minimum health and safety standards a pre-owned manufactured home must meet before the city's building inspector will issue a certificate of occupancy under Sec. 11-103. Sec. 11-104 lists ten conditions, and item (10) requires each pre-owned manufactured home to contain one operable battery-powered smoke detector in each bedroom and in the kitchen, installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. That sits alongside other item requirements in the same section: egress windows large enough for escape in each bedroom, un-vented heaters are prohibited, and electrical distribution panels must pass a continuity test to confirm proper bonding.

00 permit and inspection fee under Sec. 00. The applicant must also submit a photograph-backed affidavit under Sec. 11-103(1) attesting the home meets these standards before relocating it onto a residential site. Sec. 11-105(b) gives real teeth to the inspection process: an owner whose home still fails to comply on a third inspection has the installation permit revoked and must remove the home from the city at their own expense, and Sec. 11-106 makes noncompliance a separate offense for each day it continues.

Violations & Fines

A pre-owned manufactured home lacking a working smoke detector in each bedroom and the kitchen will not receive a certificate of occupancy under Sec. 11-104. Failure to bring the home into compliance by the third inspection results in permit revocation and mandatory removal from the city under Sec. 11-105(b), and each day the violation continues after that is a separate offense punishable under Sec. 11-106.
