Operative Text
Any owner, agent or other authorized persons who lets for occupancy any dwelling or dwelling unit in the City of Ansonia and who does not hold a valid certificate of compliance from the code official shall be given written notice by said official of said violation by personal service or by certified mail, addressed to said owner, agent or other authorized person in control of the subject property at his/her last known address. Any such person or entity who or which fails to cure such violation within fifteen (15) days after the date of such written notice may be assessed a fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) per day for each and every day that such violation continues, as each day of such continued violation shall be considered a separate violation of this chapter.
Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 18 § 18-3j establishes that any owner, agent, or authorized person who rents out a dwelling or dwelling unit in Ansonia without a valid certificate of compliance must first receive written notice of the violation — delivered in person or by certified mail — before any penalty applies. If the violation is not corrected within 15 days of that notice, fines of up to $100 per day may be assessed, with each continuing day treated as a separate violation. The rule creates a notice-and-cure window before financial penalties begin to accumulate.
