Waterbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 § 160.02
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY (Waterbury Landlord Registration Ordinance)
Operative Text
This chapter is enacted pursuant to the provisions of Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47a-6a, 47a-6b, and 7-148. (Ord. passed 4-23-2012)
Chapter 160 of the Waterbury Code of Ordinances is a locally enacted housing regulation that draws its legal authority from three Connecticut state statutes—Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47a-6a, 47a-6b, and 7-148—as stated in § 160.02. This provision establishes the legal foundation for the chapter rather than imposing any specific requirement or prohibition on its own. It signals that the rules contained in the rest of Chapter 160 are grounded in state-granted municipal authority, passed by ordinance on April 23, 2012.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 160.02 identifies the state statutory basis under which Waterbury's Chapter 160 was adopted, meaning the obligations and standards found throughout the chapter carry the weight of both local ordinance and state enabling law. Operators who manage rental property in Waterbury generally familiarize themselves with the full scope of Chapter 160, knowing that its provisions rest on this legislatively confirmed authority. Understanding the enabling statutes—Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47a-6a, 47a-6b, and 7-148—can provide useful context for interpreting how the chapter's requirements were designed to function.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 160.02 confirms that Waterbury's Chapter 160 was lawfully enacted under Connecticut state law, which means the protections and standards in the chapter have a firm legal foundation. Tenants who believe a landlord has not complied with Chapter 160 may find it useful to reference this legislative authority when raising concerns with local housing officials or a tenant-rights organization. Because the chapter is grounded in state statutes including Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47a-6a and 47a-6b, tenants may also explore whether parallel state-level remedies or agencies are relevant to their situation.
