Bloomfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 § 12-15
Security devices
Operative Text
No person shall let to another for occupancy any dwelling, dwelling unit, or habitable room unless all doors and windows of the dwelling, dwelling unit or habitable room are equipped with functioning security devices.
Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. III § 12-15 establishes that any dwelling, dwelling unit, or habitable room offered for occupancy must have functioning security devices on all its doors and windows. The rule applies at the point of letting — meaning the requirement must be satisfied before a tenant takes occupancy. It is a blanket prohibition: no person may rent out a space that lacks these devices, regardless of the type of rental arrangement.

Under Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. III § 12-15, compliant property operators ensure that every door and window in a dwelling, dwelling unit, or habitable room is fitted with working security devices before a new tenancy begins. Routine inspections of locks, latches, and other security hardware before each rental period help demonstrate ongoing compliance. Keeping maintenance records that document the condition and functionality of these devices at the time of letting is a common practice among operators seeking to meet this standard.

Bloomfield Code of Ordinances ch. 12, art. III § 12-15 gives tenants a basis to expect that all doors and windows in their dwelling, dwelling unit, or habitable room are equipped with functioning security devices from the start of their occupancy. If a tenant discovers that security devices are missing or non-functional, that condition may constitute a violation of this provision, which can be raised in housing-related proceedings or reported to the appropriate local code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Bloomfield's housing code can help residents understand the general enforcement paths available to them.
