East Haven, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. V § 10-109

(a) The town hereby specifically adopts the provisions of G.S. § 7-152c for the establishment of a citation hearing process for alleged violations of this article.
(b) There shall be blight assistance committee established consisting of one (1) resident of each of the five (5) districts of the Town of East Haven. Said committee shall be appointed by the mayor and approved by the town council and shall serve for three (3) years from the date of appointment. The committee shall work with the blight enforcement officers in identifying residents within the town in need of a blight accommodation either individually, with the town, or through coordination with town identified community groups, programs.
(c) The Planning and Zoning Commission of the Town of East Haven shall act as the Blight Appeals Committee of the Town of East Haven, who shall act by majority vote as citation hearing officers in all hearings for alleged violations of this article. Any such hearings shall be heard monthly as a regular agenda item of the planning and zoning commission.
(d) The zoning enforcement officer, at any time within twelve (12) months from the expiration of the final period for the uncontested payment of fines, penalties, costs or fees for any citation issued for an alleged violation of this article, shall send notice to the person cited. Such notice shall inform the person cited:
(1) Of the allegations against him and the amount of the fines, penalties, costs or fees due;
(2) That he may contest his liability before the blight appeals committee by delivering in person or by mail written notice within ten (10) days of the date thereof;
(3) That if he does not demand such a hearing, an assessment and judgment shall be entered against him; and
(4) That such judgment may issue without further notice.
(e) If the person who is sent notice pursuant to subjection (c) of this section wishes to admit liability for any alleged violation, he may, without requesting a hearing, pay the full amount of the fines, penalties, costs or fees admitted to in person or by mail to the town clerk. Such payment shall be inadmissible in any proceeding, civil or criminal, to establish the conduct of such person or other person making the payment. Any person who does not deliver or mail written demand for a hearing within ten (10) days of the date of the first notice provided for in subsection (c) of this section shall be deemed to have admitted liability, and the zoning enforcement officer, shall certify such person's failure to respond to the blight appeals committee. The blight appeals committee shall thereupon enter and assess the fines, penalties, costs or fees provided for by the applicable ordinances and shall follow the procedures set forth in G.S. § 7-152(f).
(f) Any person who requests a hearing shall be given written notice of the date, time and place for the hearing. Such hearing shall be held not less than fifteen (15) days, no more than thirty (30) days from the date of the mailing of the notice, provided the blight appeals committee shall grant upon good cause shown any reasonable request by interested party for postponement or continuance. The procedures and conduct of such hearing, the assessment of fines, penalties, costs or fees and the entry of judgment in superior court upon such assessment shall be provided in G.S. § 7-152c.
(g) Pursuant to G.S. § 7-148a(a), any unpaid fine imposed pursuant to the above procedure shall constitute a lien upon the real property against which the lien was imposed from the date of the fine. The lien shall be continued, recorded, released, and enforced as provided for by said statute.
