Bethel, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 63 (2026) § 63-13

A. The enforcing officer is hereby authorized to enter, inspect, examine and survey all rooming houses between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Whenever, upon inspection of any rooming house, the enforcing officer finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of any provisions of this chapter or of any applicable rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, the enforcing officer shall give a written warning to the operator of such rooming house that unless such conditions are corrected within a period of time to be specified by the enforcing officer, the operator's permit will be suspended. Such period of time shall be of a reasonable length. At the end of said period of time the enforcing officer shall reinspect such rooming house, under the conditions of his first entry and inspection as set forth above in this subsection. If the enforcing officer determines that such conditions have not been corrected, he shall issue an order suspending the operator's permit. B. Any person whose permit to operate a rooming house has been suspended by order of the enforcing officer shall be granted a hearing on the suspension order by the Basic Building Code Board of Appeals in the manner prescribed by § 63-12 on hearings. If no such petition for a hearing is received by the Basic Building Code Board of Appeals within 10 days following the day on which a permit was suspended, said permit shall be deemed revoked. At any time within said 10 days following the suspension order, however, the rooming house operator may upon request be granted a reinspection by the enforcing officer for the purpose of demonstrating that said rooming house has been put in compliance with this chapter and with all regulations pursuant thereto. Where such compliance is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the enforcing officer, the suspension of the rooming house operator's permit shall be terminated.
