Hamden, Conn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 § 152.16
Time limit for decision
Operative Text
Within 10 days following the close of each conference, the referee shall affirm, set aside or modify the notice or order contested by the petitioner, and shall advise the petitioner and the board of review of his decision in writing. (Adopted 9-5-67)
Under Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.16, once a housing code conference concludes, the referee overseeing the proceeding has a firm 10-day window to issue a written decision. That decision must either uphold, overturn, or modify the notice or order that was challenged. Both the petitioner and the board of review must be formally notified of the outcome in writing within that same timeframe.

Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.16 establishes a structured post-conference timeline that affects how quickly a contested notice or order is resolved. Compliant operators generally keep records of conference dates so they can anticipate when the referee's written decision is due. Staying attentive to that 10-day window helps property managers track whether a decision has been issued and whether any follow-up steps with the board of review may be needed.

Under Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.16, a tenant or other petitioner who has participated in a housing code conference has the right to receive the referee's written decision within 10 days of the conference's close. If that deadline passes without a written ruling being delivered, this provision may provide grounds to raise the delay as a procedural concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Hamden's housing code process can help petitioners understand what options may be available if the timeline is not followed.
