Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses and hotels subject to Bridgeport Municipal Code § 15.12.350 can expect that the housing code enforcement officer maintains an official record of their license, including the licensed address, the licensee's identifying information, and any revocation actions. Compliant operators generally ensure that the information they provide at the time of licensing—such as their name, residence, and premises address—is accurate and current, since that data forms the official record. Keeping copies of issued licenses and any correspondence with the enforcement office is a practice commonly associated with orderly license management.

Bridgeport Municipal Code § 15.12.350 requires the city to maintain a publicly accountable record of all rooming house and hotel licenses, including which properties are licensed and whether any license has been revoked. Tenants residing in rooming houses or hotels can use this recordkeeping requirement as a basis for inquiring with the housing code enforcement officer about the current license status of their building. Those who believe a property is operating without a valid license or that records are not being properly maintained may consider contacting the Bridgeport housing code enforcement office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
