Killingly, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. III § 4-44
Section 4-44        Means of egress
A safe, continuous and unobstructed path of travel shall be provided from any point in a building or structure to
the public way. Means of egress shall comply with the State Building Code
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 4-44 of Killingly's Rental Housing Standards Code requires that every building or structure maintain a clear, uninterrupted route from any interior point to a public street or walkway. This path of travel must be safe and free of obstructions at all times. The provision also ties local requirements to the Connecticut State Building Code, meaning state-level egress standards apply alongside this local rule.

For Property Managers

Under Section 4-44, compliant rental property operators ensure that all hallways, stairwells, exits, and pathways leading to a public way remain clear of stored items, debris, or other obstructions. Operators also verify that egress routes meet the Connecticut State Building Code, which may specify requirements around door widths, lighting, and signage. Routine inspections of egress paths are a common practice among operators seeking to stay in compliance with this provision.

For Tenants

Section 4-44 gives tenants a basis to raise concerns if any exit route in their building is blocked, unsafe, or otherwise fails to provide a continuous path to a public way. Tenants who observe obstructed or hazardous egress conditions may report them to Killingly's local housing or code enforcement office, which has authority to inspect and require corrections. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how this provision interacts with broader habitability protections under Connecticut law.
