Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-89
Bathroom and water closet floors
Operative Text
Every water closet compartment floor surface and bathroom floor surface shall be constructed and maintained so as to be reasonably impervious to water and so as to permit such floor to be easily kept in a clean and sanitary condition.
Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-89 establishes that the floor surfaces of bathrooms and water closet compartments must be built and kept in a way that resists water penetration and can be readily cleaned and kept sanitary. The rule applies both to how these floors are originally constructed and to how they are maintained over time. It sets a functional standard — water resistance and ease of cleaning — rather than specifying a particular material or finish.

Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-89, compliant property operators generally ensure that bathroom and water closet floors are surfaced with materials that resist moisture, such as tile, sealed concrete, or similar impervious finishes. Ongoing maintenance practices typically include promptly repairing cracked, peeling, or deteriorating floor surfaces that could absorb water or harbor unsanitary conditions. Routine inspections of these areas help operators identify and address deterioration before it rises to a code violation.

Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-89 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when bathroom or water closet floors are cracked, porous, or otherwise unable to be kept clean and sanitary. Tenants who observe such conditions may document them in writing and notify their landlord, and may also have the option of contacting the local housing or code enforcement office in Glastonbury to request an inspection. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain what general enforcement paths — such as filing a complaint or raising a housing code violation — may be available in a given situation.
