Violations and penalties (Cromwell Landlord Registration)
Operative Text
A. As provided in Connecticut General Statutes Sections 47a-6a and 47a-6b, any nonresident owner or agent who violates any provision of this chapter shall be assessed a civil penalty of not more than $100 for the first violation and not more than $200 for any subsequent violation. B. The Health Department of the Town of Cromwell shall send notice of the assessment to the nonresident owner or agent of the property that is the subject of the violation. C. Any person who is assessed a civil penalty pursuant to this section may appeal therefrom to the Cromwell Hearing Officer, provided that such person must file a petition to reopen assessment with the Hearing Officer, together with the entry fee in an amount equal to the entry fee for a small claims case pursuant to Section 52-259 of the Connecticut General Statutes, no later than 10 days after the receipt of notice of such assessment.
Section 150-7 of Cromwell's Code of Ordinances establishes civil penalties for nonresident property owners or their agents who violate the chapter's requirements. A first violation carries a penalty of up to $100, while any subsequent violation can result in a penalty of up to $200. The Town of Cromwell's Health Department is responsible for issuing notice of these assessments, and those who receive a penalty have the right to appeal to the Cromwell Hearing Officer within 10 days of receiving notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nonresident owners and their agents operating rental property in Cromwell should be aware that under § 150-7, noncompliance with Chapter 150 can trigger civil penalties issued by the Town of Cromwell Health Department — up to $100 for a first offense and up to $200 for each subsequent offense. Compliant operators generally maintain current contact information with the town so that any Health Department notices reach them promptly. If a penalty notice is received, § 150-7 provides a formal appeal pathway to the Cromwell Hearing Officer, which must be initiated within 10 days of receipt by filing a petition and paying the applicable small claims entry fee.

Section 150-7 signals that Cromwell takes Chapter 150 compliance seriously enough to impose escalating civil penalties on nonresident owners and agents who violate its provisions. If a tenant believes their nonresident landlord is in violation of Chapter 150, the Town of Cromwell Health Department is the body empowered to assess penalties and send formal notices under this provision. Tenants seeking to understand their options may benefit from contacting the Health Department directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Connecticut housing law.
