Section 152.13 of the Hamden Housing Code establishes the composition of the board of review and the process for selecting conference referees. Under this provision, the director of health holds the authority to appoint one or more referees to oversee a housing conference, and those referees must be drawn from the board of review. That board is made up of three designated officials: the fire marshal, the planning director, and the building inspector.

Under § 152.13 of the Hamden Housing Code, when a housing conference is convened, the presiding referee or referees will be officials already serving on the board of review — namely, the fire marshal, the planning director, or the building inspector. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the roles of these officials, as any one of them may be designated by the director of health to preside over a conference affecting their property. Understanding the structure of this review body can help property managers engage constructively with the conference process.
