2. The Administrator may make inspections of and approve or disapprove plans and specifications for proposed mobile home parks and alteration of mobile home parks. When it is necessary to make an inspection to enforce any of the provisions of this chapter or when the Administrator or the Administrator’s authorized representative has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in any mobile home, mobile home lot or mobile home park any condition or violation which makes it unsafe, dangerous or hazardous, the Administrator or the Administrator’s authorized representative may enter it at any reasonable time to inspect it or to perform any duty imposed on the Administrator with respect to it. The Administrator shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the owner or other person having charge or control of the mobile home or mobile home lot or park, and if that person is located, shall present to the person proper credentials and request entry. If that person is not located or entry is refused, the Administrator or the Administrator’s authorized representative has recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure entry.

(a) Evidence that a violation of a provision of this chapter or a regulation adopted under it has been committed or is being committed; or
(b) That the mobile home or mobile home lot or park has been chosen for an inspection on the basis of a general administrative plan for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter and the regulations adopted under it.
4. The Administrator shall adopt regulations to carry out the purposes of this chapter and to govern the use and occupancy of mobile homes and premises. The regulations must establish minimum requirements to protect the health and safety of the occupants and the public and must provide for the abatement of any substandard, unsafe or unsanitary condition of a mobile home or premises or of the electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems therein.
5. The Administrator shall adopt regulations to govern the construction and alteration of mobile home parks and lots within the parks and the abatement of any substandard, unsafe or unsanitary condition of a mobile home park.
