Under Section 4-74, property owners and managers in Killingly should be aware that the Building Official—or a designated representative—is the municipal authority who will inspect for and act on violations of the Rental Housing Standards Code. Compliant operators typically maintain their properties in accordance with the code's requirements so that any inspection by the Building Official or designee results in no findings of violation. Keeping records of maintenance, repairs, and communications with the municipality can support a showing of ongoing compliance.
