New Britain, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-201
Same—Revocation when notice of violation sustained; effect of failure to petition for hearing
Operative Text
When a notice of violation has been sustained by the housing board of appeals any permit suspended by the notice shall be deemed revoked. If a petition for a hearing has not been filed in the office of the housing board of appeals within ten (10) days following the day on which the permit was suspended, the permit shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked.
Under New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-201, a housing permit that has been suspended by a notice of violation becomes permanently revoked under two circumstances: either the Housing Board of Appeals sustains the violation after a hearing, or the permit holder fails to petition for a hearing within ten days of the suspension. This provision establishes an automatic revocation mechanism that takes effect without any additional administrative action when the deadline to request a hearing passes. The rule effectively makes timely response to a suspension notice a prerequisite for preserving permit rights.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under permits subject to New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-201 generally track any notice of violation closely, since a suspended permit can become permanently revoked either through an adverse Board of Appeals decision or simply by the passage of ten days without a hearing petition. Compliant operators typically maintain systems to monitor suspension notices and ensure any petition for a hearing is filed with the Housing Board of Appeals well within that ten-day window. Keeping dated records of all notices received and any filings submitted to the Board is a standard practice for demonstrating timely response.

Under New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-201, tenants may have an interest in whether a landlord's housing permit has been revoked, since a revocation can affect the legal status of the rental property. If a permit has been automatically revoked due to a landlord's failure to petition for a hearing within ten days of suspension, tenants may be able to raise that revocation status in relevant housing proceedings or complaints. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with New Britain housing regulations can help tenants understand what permit revocation may mean for their specific housing situation.
