Section 4357.
Cal. Public Utilities Code - PUC § 4357.
in effect(a)
Any operator who commits a violation enumerated in subdivision (f) of Section 4353, or who fails to file the report required by Section 4354 or to comply with a directive of the commission pursuant to Section 4356 is subject to a civil penalty of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each day that the violation, failure to file the report or respond to the directive continues, but not to exceed two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for a single violation or related
series of violations. The commission shall enforce this subdivision.
(b)
The commission may enforce subdivision (a) in the following manner:
(1)
By issuing a citation to the responsible person, as defined by Section 18603 of the Health and Safety Code, and to the mobilehome park operator. In the event of a violation that constitutes a significant or immediate danger to health and safety of the park residents, the citation shall be issued immediately and served upon the responsible person or the holder of the permit to operate the mobilehome park. The mobilehome park operator shall be responsible for the correction of any violations for which a citation has been given pursuant to this subdivision.
(2)
Service of the citation shall be effected either personally or by first-class mail. Each citation shall be in writing
and shall describe with particularity the nature of the violation, including a reference to the statutory provisions or regulations alleged to have been violated, as well as any penalty provided by law for failure to make timely correction. The citation shall fix the earliest feasible time, as determined by the commission, for the elimination of the condition constituting the alleged violation.
(3)
A mobilehome park operator may request an informal conference with the commission staff to challenge any citation alleging a violation, or any directive to correct a violation. The informal conference, any subsequent hearings, or appeals of a decision of the commission shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and procedures prescribed by the commission.
(c)
The remedies provided by this chapter are cumulative and shall not be construed to supersede other provisions of law
providing sanctions for violators of this chapter, including, but not limited to, Sections 2112 and 2113 of the Public Utilities Code.
(d)
Nothing in this chapter affects the tort liability of the operator of a distribution system.
