New Britain, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-197
Same—Conspicuous display required
Operative Text
Each permit to operate a rooming house shall be displayed in a conspicuous place within the rooming house at all times.
Under New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-197, any permit authorizing the operation of a rooming house must be posted in a location that is clearly visible within the premises. The requirement applies continuously — there is no period during which the permit may be removed or stored out of sight. This is a display rule, not a licensing rule; it governs where an already-issued permit must be kept, not whether one must be obtained.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses subject to New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-197 generally keep their operating permit mounted or posted in a common area or entry point where it can be readily seen by residents, inspectors, or visitors. Compliant operators treat the display as a continuous obligation, meaning the permit remains posted even during renovations, seasonal slowdowns, or changes in management. Routine walkthroughs of the property can help confirm the permit has not been accidentally removed or obscured.

Section 13-197 of the New Britain Code of Ordinances means that residents of a rooming house have a right to see the facility's operating permit displayed somewhere accessible within the building at all times. If a permit is not visibly posted, that may indicate a compliance issue worth noting. Tenants who cannot locate a posted permit may consider contacting the relevant New Britain municipal or housing code enforcement office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
