No person, owning or operating a camp car or trailer located in a campground, shall remove or cause to have removed the wheels or any similar transporting devices from the camp car or trailer or otherwise permanently fix it to the ground in a manner that would prevent the ready removal of the camp car or trailer without first obtaining a permit so to do from the Building Inspector of this city. Any alteration to any camp car or trailer as set forth in this section shall be construed as removing it from the requirements of this chapter and converting it into a dwelling, and it shall thereupon be subject to the requirements of the Building Code of this city and the State Housing Act of California.
