Norwich, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. IV § 4-145
Same—Hearing on suspension order or notice; revocation
Operative Text
Any person whose license to operate a roominghouse has been suspended, or who has received notice from the housing inspector that his license is to be suspended unless existing conditions or practices at his roominghouse are corrected, may request in writing and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the code enforcement committee under the procedure provided by section 4-63; provided if no petition for such hearing is filed within 20 days following the day on which such license was suspended, such license shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked.
Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. IV § 4-145 establishes a formal review process for roominghouse operators whose licenses have been suspended or are facing suspension. An affected operator may request a written hearing before the code enforcement committee, following the procedures set out in section 4-63. If no written petition for a hearing is submitted within 20 days of the suspension, the license is automatically treated as permanently revoked rather than merely suspended.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. IV § 4-145, operators of roominghouses who receive a suspension notice or an order of suspension have a limited window to act. A compliant operator facing such action generally submits a written hearing request to the code enforcement committee promptly and well within the 20-day deadline, referencing the procedures in section 4-63. Allowing that window to lapse without filing a petition results in automatic revocation of the license, eliminating the opportunity for a formal review.

Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. IV § 4-145 governs the process by which a roominghouse operator's license can be suspended or ultimately revoked, which directly affects the legal status of the facility where tenants reside. Tenants living in a roominghouse subject to a suspension order may want to monitor whether the operator has pursued a hearing under section 4-63, as the outcome can affect the property's operating status. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing authorities can be consulted to understand what options may be available if a roominghouse license is revoked.
