Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-84
Discontinuance of required facilities
Operative Text
No owner, operator or occupant shall cause any service, facility, equipment or utility which is required under this article to be removed from or shut off from or discontinued for any occupied dwelling let or occupied by him, except for such temporary interruption as may be necessary while actual repairs or alterations are in process, or during temporary emergencies when discontinuance of service is approved by the director of health.
Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-84 establishes that any service, facility, equipment, or utility required under the housing article must remain available and operational in occupied dwellings. Removal, shut-off, or discontinuation of these required resources is prohibited, with narrow exceptions for active repair work or emergencies that the director of health has approved. The rule is designed to ensure that tenants in occupied units are not left without essential services.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-84, compliant property owners and operators maintain all required services, facilities, equipment, and utilities continuously throughout a tenancy. When repairs or alterations necessitate a temporary interruption, operators generally document the work in progress and restore service promptly. Any emergency-related discontinuance requires advance approval from the director of health, so operators typically coordinate with that office before suspending service in non-repair situations.

Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-84 gives occupants of rental dwellings a right to continuous access to all services, facilities, equipment, and utilities that the housing article requires. If a required service is removed or shut off outside of an active repair or a director-of-health-approved emergency, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe a required service has been improperly discontinued can document the situation, contact the Glastonbury director of health's office to report the concern, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
