Sec. 48.
(1) If the department orders the owner or operator of a mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park to correct a violation of this act or rules promulgated under this act that imminently threatens the health or safety of the residents of the park or the public and the owner or operator fails to comply with the order, the department or the local government may bring an action to enforce the applicable regulations and to abate or enjoin the violation.
(2) If the violation is not corrected and imminently threatens the health or safety of the residents of the mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park or the public, the department or the local government may file a motion for a preliminary injunction or other temporary relief appropriate to remove the threat while the action is pending.
(3) The department or the local government shall serve a copy of the complaint and a summons on each owner and lienholder of record, and any operator, of the mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park that can be identified by the department or the local government with the exercise of reasonable diligence. The local government shall also file a notice of the action with the register of deeds for the county where the park is located.
(4) The court shall make orders and determinations consistent with the objectives of this act. The court may enjoin the maintenance of an unsafe, unhealthy, or unsanitary condition, or a violation of the applicable regulations, and may order the defendant to perform maintenance and repairs or make other corrections including removal of a building or structure necessary to abate the condition. The court may authorize the department or the local government to perform maintenance or repairs or to remove a building or structure owned or operated by the owner or operator of the mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park. However, the court shall not authorize removal of a building or structure unless the cost of repair of the building or structure will be greater than the state equalized value of the building or structure.
(5) If the expense of maintenance, repair, or removal is not provided for by financial assurance under section 16(2)(b) or otherwise provided for, the court may enter an order approving the expense and place a lien on the real property for the payment of the expense. The order may establish the lien as a senior lien, except as to tax and assessment liens, and except as to a mortgage of first priority recorded prior to all other liens of record. The order may also specify the time and manner for foreclosure of the lien if the lien is not satisfied. To perfect the lien, a copy of the order shall be filed with the register of deeds for the county where the mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park is located within 10 days after entry of the order.
