New Britain, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-203
Notice of violations to be served on operator
Operative Text
Upon inspection of any rooming house, whenever conditions or practices are found to exist which are in violation of any provisions of this article or of any applicable rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, the director of health shall serve the operator of the rooming house with notice of such violation in the manner provided in this article. Such notice shall state that unless the violations cited are corrected within a reasonable time, the operator's permit shall be suspended.
Under New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-203, when a rooming house inspection reveals conditions or practices that violate the article or its related rules, the director of health is required to formally notify the rooming house operator of those violations. The notice must inform the operator that failure to correct the cited violations within a reasonable timeframe will result in suspension of the operator's permit. This provision establishes a structured notice-and-cure process before any permit suspension can take effect.

New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-203 places the burden on rooming house operators to respond promptly when the director of health issues a violation notice following an inspection. Compliant operators typically document all corrective actions taken, maintain records of correspondence with the health department, and ensure that cited conditions are remedied within the timeframe the notice specifies. Failing to address violations within that reasonable period puts the operator's permit at risk of suspension.

Section 13-203 of the New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 gives tenants in rooming houses an indirect protection: when inspections uncover violations, the director of health must formally notify the operator and warn that uncorrected violations can lead to permit suspension. Tenants who observe ongoing substandard conditions may consider contacting the New Britain health department to request an inspection, which can trigger the notice process described in this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can help residents understand what options are generally available when violations persist.
