Hamden, Conn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 § 152.88
Permit suspended; conference granted
Operative Text
Any person whose permit to operate a rooming house has been suspended, or who has received notice from the director of health that his permit is to be suspended unless existing conditions or practices at his rooming house are corrected, may request and shall be granted a conference and hearing on the matter under the procedure provided by §§ 152.10 to 152.25 , inclusive; provided that, if no petition for such conference and hearing is filed within 21 days following the day on which such permit was suspended, such permit shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked. (Adopted 9-5-67)
Under Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.88, when a rooming house operator's permit is suspended—or when the director of health issues a notice of pending suspension due to uncorrected conditions or practices—the operator has the right to request a formal conference and hearing. That process follows the procedures set out in §§ 152.10 to 152.25. However, if no petition for such a conference and hearing is filed within 21 days of the suspension, the permit is automatically treated as permanently revoked rather than merely suspended.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Rooming house operators subject to Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.88 who receive a suspension notice or an actual suspension of their operating permit should be aware that a formal conference and hearing is available under the procedures in §§ 152.10 to 152.25. Compliant operators generally track the date of any suspension carefully, since the 21-day window for filing a petition is strictly tied to that date. Operators who allow that window to pass without filing a petition will find their permit deemed automatically revoked, which is a more serious status than a suspension.

Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.88 is relevant to tenants living in rooming houses because it governs what happens when an operator's permit is suspended by the director of health. If a permit is suspended and the operator does not file a petition for a conference and hearing within 21 days, the permit is automatically revoked—a status that may affect the legal standing of the rooming house operation. Tenants who believe their rooming house is operating under a suspended or revoked permit may wish to contact the Hamden director of health's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are available under this provision.
