Hamden, Conn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 § 152.36
RUBBISH STORAGE
Operative Text
Every dwelling unit shall be supplied with adequate rubbish storage facilities, type and location of which are approved by the director of health. (Adopted 9-5-67) Penalty, see § 152.199
Section 152.36 of the Hamden Housing Code requires that every dwelling unit be equipped with rubbish storage facilities that are both adequate in capacity and approved by the director of health with respect to their type and location. The rule places an affirmative obligation on someone — generally the property owner — to ensure these facilities exist and meet official standards. Approval from the director of health is a prerequisite, meaning facilities that have not been reviewed or sanctioned do not satisfy the requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.36 of the Hamden Housing Code, compliant property operators ensure that each dwelling unit they manage is served by rubbish storage facilities whose type and placement have received approval from the director of health. Operators generally document that approval and periodically confirm that the facilities remain adequate as occupancy or usage patterns change. Penalties for violations are referenced in § 152.199, so maintaining current, approved facilities helps avoid enforcement exposure.

Section 152.36 of the Hamden Housing Code gives tenants a basis to expect that their dwelling unit is served by rubbish storage facilities that are adequate and officially approved by the director of health. If a tenant believes this requirement is not being met — for example, because storage is insufficient or improperly located — they may consider raising the issue with the Hamden director of health or another appropriate municipal authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand the general enforcement paths available under provisions like § 152.36 and the penalty framework in § 152.199.
