East Haven, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. VII § 2-102
Appeals
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by any order of the commission may appeal to the Superior Court for the Judicial District of New Haven within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the written notice of the commission's decision to the parties. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the filing of an appeal shall not stay any order issued by the commission. Any such appeal shall be considered a privileged matter with respect to the order of trial as provided in C.G.S. § 7-148e.
East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. VII § 2-102 establishes the process for challenging a commission order through the courts. Any party who disagrees with a commission decision has a 30-day window from receipt of the written notice to file an appeal with the Superior Court for the Judicial District of New Haven. Importantly, filing that appeal does not automatically pause or suspend the commission's order unless the court specifically directs otherwise, and the appeal is treated as a priority matter on the court's trial schedule under Connecticut General Statutes § 7-148e.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under East Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 2, art. VII § 2-102, property owners and managers who receive an adverse commission order should be aware that the order remains in full effect even if an appeal is filed, unless a court issues a specific stay. Compliant operators typically track the 30-day deadline from the date of the written decision notice and continue to comply with the commission's order throughout any pending appeal. Because the appeal is designated a privileged matter under C.G.S. § 7-148e, court proceedings may move on an expedited schedule.

VII § 2-102 gives any aggrieved party, including tenants, the right to appeal a commission order to the Superior Court for the Judicial District of New Haven within 30 days of receiving the written decision. Tenants should be aware that a commission order favorable to them generally stays in force even if the other party files an appeal, unless the court orders otherwise. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help explain what the privileged-matter status under C.G.S. § 7-148e means for the timeline of any court proceedings.
