Greenwich, Conn., Town Code ch. 5 § 5-3
Housing Sanitation Standards Appeals Board; quorum
Operative Text
The Board of Health shall serve as a Housing Sanitation Standards Appeals Board. A quorum of the Appeals Board shall be three (3) members.
Under Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-3, the Board of Health is designated to serve a dual function as the Housing Sanitation Standards Appeals Board, the body that hears appeals related to housing sanitation standards. For this Appeals Board to conduct official business, at least three of its members must be present to constitute a quorum. This structural rule ensures that decisions on housing sanitation appeals are made collectively rather than by a single official.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-3 establishes that any appeal of a housing sanitation standards determination goes before the Board of Health acting in its capacity as the Appeals Board. Operators who receive a housing sanitation-related notice or order and wish to contest it would direct that appeal to this body. Compliant property managers generally keep records of any notices received and are aware that the Board of Health, requiring a quorum of three members, is the designated forum for such appeals.
