Bridgeport, Conn., Mun. Code §§ 15.12, 15.28 § 15.12.210
Screen and storm door standards (Bridgeport Housing Code)
Operative Text
Every occupant of a dwelling or dwelling unit shall be responsible for hanging all screens and double storm doors and windows, whenever the same are required under the provisions of this chapter or of any rule or regulations adopted pursuant thereto, except where the owner has agreed to supply such service.
Under Bridgeport, Conn., Mun. Code §§ 15.12, 15.28 § 15.12.210, the default rule places the responsibility for hanging screens and double storm doors and windows on the occupant of a dwelling or dwelling unit, not the owner. This applies whenever screens or storm doors and windows are required by the chapter or its implementing rules. The only exception is when the owner has separately agreed to provide that installation service.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bridgeport, Conn., Mun. Code §§ 15.12, 15.28 § 15.12.210, property owners are not automatically required to hang screens and storm doors and windows — that duty falls to occupants by default. However, if an owner has made an agreement to supply that installation service, the owner becomes responsible for fulfilling it. Operators who wish to retain the default allocation of responsibility generally ensure their lease agreements are clear and do not inadvertently commit them to providing hanging services.

Bridgeport, Conn., Mun. Code §§ 15.12, 15.28 § 15.12.210 places the duty to hang screens and double storm doors and windows on occupants as a baseline rule. If a tenant believes their landlord agreed to provide this service, that agreement — whether written or verbal — may be relevant to determining who bears the responsibility. Tenants with questions about how this provision applies to their building can consult a local tenant-rights organization or the relevant municipal code enforcement office for general information.
