(A) Whenever, upon inspection of any manufactured home or manufactured home lot, a city official finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of any provision of this chapter, he or she shall then give notice in writing to the licensee that unless such conditions or practices are corrected within a reasonable period of time as specified in such notice, the permit or license shall be suspended.
(B) The notice shall be in writing; include a statement of the reasons for its issuance; allow a reasonable time for the performance of the act it requires; and be served upon the licensee or his or her agent. Such notice or order shall be deemed to have been properly served upon such licensee or his or her agent when a copy of the notice has been sent by registered or certified mail to his or her last-known address, or when he or she has been served with such notice by any method authorized or required by the laws of this state. The notice shall also contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
(C) At the end of such period of time, the official shall re-inspect manufactured home or manufactured home lot assisted by such city departments as may be required; and if such conditions or practices have not been corrected, he or she shall immediately suspend the license and give notice in writing of such suspension to the licensee. Upon receipt of notice of such suspension, the licensee shall cease operation, except the filing of an appeal for a hearing shall operate as a stay of the notice and of the suspension.
(D) Only in an emergency shall the filing of an appeal for a hearing not operate as a stay of the notice and suspension. Whenever the city official finds that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, he or she may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence of such an emergency, including the suspension of the license. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, such order shall be effective immediately. Any person to whom such an order is directed shall comply therewith immediately, but upon petition to the enforcing agency shall be afforded a hearing as soon as possible.
