Enfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-181
Appeal of penalty assessment to superior court; blight review committee
Operative Text
(a) A person against whom a judgment has been entered is entitled to judicial review in accordance with the provisions of G.S. § 7-152c; or (b) After the appeal period pursuant to G.S. § 7-152c has passed, any person having been issued a citation may seek relief from enforcement citation fines from the blight review committee by contacting the town manager's office.
Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-181 establishes two separate avenues for challenging or seeking relief from a blight-related penalty. First, a person against whom a judgment has been entered may pursue judicial review in superior court under the procedures set out in G.S. § 7-152c. Second, once the appeal period under that statute has passed, anyone who received a citation may separately ask the blight review committee for relief from the fines by reaching out to the town manager's office.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers subject to a blight citation under Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-181 generally track the appeal deadline established by G.S. § 7-152c carefully, since that window governs the right to seek judicial review in superior court. Operators who miss that window but still wish to contest fines typically contact the town manager's office to request consideration by the blight review committee. Maintaining organized records of any citations received and correspondence with the town supports a clear presentation to either forum.

Tenants or other individuals who have received a blight enforcement citation in Enfield have two potential paths under § 14-181: a formal judicial appeal to superior court within the timeframe set by G.S. § 7-152c, or a request for fine relief from the blight review committee through the town manager's office after that appeal period expires. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid offices familiar with local ordinance enforcement can help explain how these options work in practice. Keeping copies of any citation paperwork and noting the dates on which notices were received helps preserve access to both avenues.
