The inspection report shall be posted beginning the business day after the date by which the violation or violations must be corrected as set forth in the inspection report issued by the authority having jurisdiction. The posting may be removed only when:

(1) the authority having jurisdiction has issued written authorization to remove the posting; or

(2) the park owner or its managing agent has corrected the violation or violations, served notice to the authority having jurisdiction that the violation or violations have been corrected by submitting such documentation or affidavit as may be necessary to substantiate the correction by certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and no less than 15 days have expired from the mailing date of the notice to the authority having jurisdiction.
