Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-8 establishes that every dwelling unit must have a kitchen sink that works properly and is correctly connected to both a water supply system and a sewage disposal system. The sink must meet the standards set out elsewhere in the Code. This is a baseline habitability requirement applicable to all dwelling units in Greenwich.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-8, compliant property operators ensure that each dwelling unit's kitchen sink is in good working order at all times and properly tied into both the water supply and sewage disposal systems as the Code prescribes. Routine inspections and prompt repairs of leaks, drainage failures, or connection problems are characteristic of operators who maintain compliance. Keeping maintenance records that document the condition of kitchen plumbing can support a showing of ongoing compliance.

Greenwich Town Code ch. 5 § 5-8 gives tenants the right to a kitchen sink that is functional and properly connected to water supply and sewage disposal systems. If a kitchen sink is broken, disconnected, or otherwise not meeting this standard, tenants generally have options such as notifying the landlord in writing, contacting the Greenwich building or housing inspection office to request an inspection, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Documenting the condition of the sink with photographs and written communications can be useful when pursuing any of these paths.
