New Britain, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-57
Same—Judicial review of decision of board on appeal
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by the final decision of the housing board of appeals on a notice of violation of this article may obtain judicial review in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided by the laws of the state by filing that appeal within fifteen (15) days of the final decision of the board. A copy of any petition filed with a court of competent jurisdiction shall be transmitted to the housing board of appeals.
New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 2 § 13-57 establishes a pathway for judicial review of housing board of appeals decisions. When the housing board of appeals issues a final decision on a notice of violation, any person who feels harmed by that decision may challenge it in a court of competent jurisdiction under Connecticut state law. The appeal must be filed within fifteen days of the board's final decision, and a copy of any court petition must be sent to the housing board of appeals.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 13-57, property owners or managers who receive an adverse final decision from the housing board of appeals on a violation notice have a limited window—fifteen days—to seek judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction. Operators who pursue this route generally ensure that a copy of any court petition is promptly transmitted to the housing board of appeals as required. Keeping careful records of the board's decision date is a common practice for those who may wish to preserve this option.

Section 13-57 of the New Britain Code of Ordinances means that tenants or other parties aggrieved by a housing board of appeals decision are not necessarily bound by that outcome, as state courts can provide an additional layer of review. Those who believe a final board decision was incorrect generally have fifteen days from that decision to file an appeal in a court of competent jurisdiction. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid resources can help individuals understand what this judicial review process involves and what options may be available to them.
