Bridgeport Municipal Code § 15.12.490 establishes that landlords who violate the relevant housing provisions can face fines of up to $100 per day for each day a violation persists. Tenants who believe a violation is ongoing may consider documenting conditions with dates, as the continuing-offense structure means prolonged violations can result in escalating penalties against the responsible party.
