Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 15 § 15-8, property owners who receive an adverse Commission order have a defined path to seek judicial review in the Hartford-area Superior Court's Housing Session. Operators who wish to contest a ruling generally document their objections carefully and act within applicable deadlines, since court appeals are governed by procedural rules beyond the ordinance itself. Consulting a licensed Connecticut attorney familiar with housing law is a common step for landlords considering this route.
