(Adopted 9-5-67)
Under Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.11, any person who receives a notice of violation or an order to repair or demolish property from the director of health has a formal avenue to contest that action. The aggrieved party may submit a written petition—in the form of a simple letter—explaining the grounds for their objection. This petition must reach the director of health within 21 days of the date the notice or order was served, or the opportunity to request a conference may be lost.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a notice of violation or repair/demolition order under Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.11 generally document the date they received any such notice and promptly assess whether they wish to contest it. A compliant operator who disagrees with the director of health's findings typically prepares a written letter clearly stating the grounds for contesting the notice or order and ensures it is received by the director of health within the 21-day window. Keeping copies of all correspondence and proof of delivery is a standard practice when exercising this petition right.
