(c) A statement as follows of the action required to be taken as determined by the agency:
(1) If the agency has determined that the mobile home must be repaired, the order must state that all required permits must be secured and the work physically commenced within 60 days from the date of the order and completed within such time as the agency shall determine is reasonable under all of the circumstances.
(2) If the agency has determined that the mobile home must be vacated, the order must state that the mobile home must be vacated within a certain time after the date of the order as determined by the agency to be reasonable.
(3) If the agency has determined that the mobile home must be demolished, the order must state that the mobile home must be vacated within such time as the agency determines is reasonable, not to exceed 60 days after the date of the order, that all required permits must be secured within 60 days after the date of the order, and that the demolition must be completed within such time as the agency determines is reasonable.
(d) Statements advising that if any required repair or demolition work, where the mobile home was not required to be vacated, is not commenced within the time specified, the agency will order the mobile home vacated and posted to prevent further occupancy until the work is completed, and may proceed to cause the work to be done and charge the costs of repair as provided by this chapter.
(e) Statements advising that any person having any title or legal interest in the mobile home may appeal from the order or any action of the agency and that the appeal must be made in writing and filed with the agency within 10 days after the date of the service of the order and that failure to appeal constitutes a waiver of all rights to an administrative hearing and determination of the matter.
