New Britain, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-196
Same—Expiration
Operative Text
Every permit to operate a rooming house shall expire on March first of every year, unless suspended sooner as provided for in this division.
Under New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-196, every permit authorizing the operation of a rooming house automatically expires on March 1 of each year. A permit may also end earlier than that date if it is suspended under the procedures set out elsewhere in the same division. This means rooming house operators must obtain a renewed permit before or by that annual deadline to remain in lawful operation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 13-196 of the New Britain Code of Ordinances establishes March 1 as the annual expiration date for all rooming house operating permits. Compliant operators typically track this deadline and submit renewal applications well in advance to avoid any lapse in authorization. Operators should also be aware that a permit can be suspended before March 1 under other provisions of Division 9, so maintaining ongoing compliance with all applicable requirements is part of standard permit management.

Under § 13-196 of the New Britain Code of Ordinances, rooming house permits expire each year on March 1, and a landlord operating without a valid, current permit may be in violation of local law. Tenants who have reason to believe their rooming house is being operated without a valid permit can inquire with the relevant New Britain municipal or housing code enforcement office about the permit status of their building. Local tenant-rights organizations may also be able to help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord's operating permit has lapsed or been suspended.
