unit, any person who performs or practices any occupation regulated
under this chapter who is not duly licensed by the board.
Any person violating this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

7360. No person having charge of a mobile unit, whether as an owner
or an employee, shall permit any room, or part thereof, in which any
occupation regulated under this chapter is conducted or practiced,
to be used for residential purposes or for any other purpose that
would tend to make the unit unsanitary, unhealthy, or unsafe, or
endanger the health and safety of the consuming public.
This section shall not apply when the mobile unit is used for
