Section 10-40 of East Haven Code of Ordinances Chapter 10, Article III establishes a formal appeal route for anyone who receives a penalty under this chapter. The appeal is directed to the superior court and must follow the procedures set out in Connecticut General Statutes § 47a-6b. This provision ensures that a penalty assessment is not necessarily final and that an independent judicial body can review it.

For Property Managers

Under § 10-40, if a property owner or manager is assessed a penalty under Chapter 10, Article III, there is a defined process for challenging that assessment through the superior court. Compliant operators generally keep records of all notices, inspections, and correspondence related to any penalty, as such documentation can be relevant in an appeal proceeding under G.S. § 47a-6b. Being aware of this appeal pathway is part of understanding the full scope of enforcement under East Haven's housing ordinance.

For Tenants

Section 10-40 of East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. III confirms that the appeal mechanism under this chapter runs through the superior court pursuant to G.S. § 47a-6b, which is primarily a process available to those assessed a penalty. Tenants who believe a penalty-related matter affects their housing situation may want to review how Chapter 10 penalties interact with their rights under Connecticut law. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help explain how the appeal process under § 10-40 may be relevant to a particular housing situation.
