(A) The Board shall issue licenses for the establishment, operation, and maintenance of mobile home parks which are found to comply with the provisions of this chapter governing mobile home parks and the rules, regulations, and standards as are lawfully promulgated by the Board pursuant thereto. The Board shall deny, refuse renewal of, suspend or revoke licenses on any of the following grounds:
(1) Violation of any of the provisions of this chapter governing mobile home parks or the rules, regulations, and standards lawfully promulgated pursuant thereto;
(2) Permitting, aiding, or abetting the commission of any unlawful act; or
(3) Conduct of utility or sanitation practices detrimental to the health or safety of residents of a mobile home park.
(B) (1) Should the Board determine to deny, refuse renewal of, suspend, or revoke a license, it shall send to the applicant or licensee, by either certified or registered mail, a notice setting forth the specific reasons for the determination. The denial, refusal of renewal, suspension, or revocation shall become final 30 days after the mailing of the notice in all cases of failure to pay the required licensure fee if not paid by the end of the period, and in all other instances unless the applicant or licensee, within the 30-day period, shall give written notice of a desire for a hearing. Thereupon, the applicant or licensee shall be given opportunity for a formal hearing before the Board and shall have the right to present evidence on his or her own behalf.
(2) On the basis of the evidence presented, the determination involved shall be affirmed or set aside, and a copy of the decision setting forth the findings of facts and the specific reasons upon which it is based shall be sent by either certified or registered mail to the applicant or licensee. The decision shall become final 30 days after a copy thereof is mailed, unless the applicant or licensee within the 30-day period appeals the decision of the Board as in appeals from the action of city councils in cities of the second class.
