Notice of violations; inspections
Operative Text
(a) Whenever upon inspection of any lodging house the Director of Health finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of any provision of this Article, the Director of Health shall give notice in writing to the operator of the lodging house to correct such conditions or practices within reasonable period, to be determined by the Director of Health. At the end of the specific period the Director of Health or his authorized representative shall reinspect such lodging house, and if he finds that such conditions or practices have not been corrected, he shall take appropriate action.
Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-39 establishes a process for addressing violations found during lodging house inspections. When the Director of Health identifies a violation during an inspection, the operator receives a written notice specifying a reasonable correction period. If a follow-up inspection reveals the violation has not been corrected, the Director of Health is authorized to take appropriate enforcement action.
