The filing of an appeal shall not automatically stay operation of the order.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Hartford, Conn., Mun. Code ch. 18 § 18-121, when a party files an appeal of a housing order, that appeal does not automatically pause or suspend the order's requirements. The order remains in full legal effect while the appeal is pending, unless a separate stay is granted through the appropriate process. This means compliance obligations continue regardless of whether an appeal has been initiated.

Operators who wish to pause an order's requirements typically seek a formal stay through the applicable administrative or judicial process rather than relying on the appeal filing alone.
