(B) An affidavit of the applicant as to the truth of the matters contained in the application shall be attached thereto. Where a permit to construct is sought in addition to a license to operate, request therefore shall be made in the same application.

(E) If a permit to construct a mobile home park has been issued, the applicant upon completion thereof shall notify the enforcing officer.

The application shall be made in the way and manner hereinbefore set forth; the change or changes shall comply with the safety and sanitary code, codes, rules and regulations as are applicable a thereto.
(G) The permit does not relieve the applicant from securing building permits or from complying with any other ordinances applicable thereto.

(H) Each license fee shall be paid to the city by a separate certified check or United States money order in the amount of the license fee only and any license fee or any part thereof, once paid to and accepted by the city shall not be refunded.

However, the enforcing officer shall first serve or cause to be served upon the licensee a written notice on which shall be specified the way or ways in which the licensee has failed to comply with the ordinance or any rules or regulations promulgated by the city pertaining thereto. The notice shall require the licensee to remove or abate the nuisance, unsanitary or objectionable condition specified in the notice within five days or within a longer period of time as may be allowed by the enforcing officer. If the licensee fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the notice, within the time specified or the extended period of time, the enforcing officer may revoke or suspend the license.
(J) No person, firm or corporation shall construct a mobile home park without first obtaining a permit to do so. All permits to construct, all licenses to operate and all permits to make alterations therein shall be prominently displayed in the office of the mobile home park. Licenses issued under this chapter shall be transferable only upon written consent of the licensor, provided, however, that the licensor may not withhold the consent where the provisions of this chapter have been complied with in all other respects.
(K) Each mobile home park licensed or to be constructed under the provisions of this chapter shall provide a responsible attendant, caretaker or agent at all times, whose duty it small be to maintain the park, its facilities and equipment in a clean, orderly and sanitary condition.
