Enfield, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-187
Responsibility for compliance
Operative Text
All persons subject to this article shall be jointly and severally obligated to comply with the provisions of this article. Whenever the person, as herein defined, is a corporation or other legal entity, the officers thereof shall be jointly and severally responsible with that corporation or other legal entity.
Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-187 establishes that every individual or entity covered by Article IV shares full, overlapping responsibility for meeting the article's requirements — meaning any one of them can be held accountable for the whole obligation. When the responsible party is a corporation or similar legal entity, its officers are personally on the hook alongside the organization itself. No single party can escape liability simply by pointing to another covered party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 14-187, property owners who operate through a corporation, LLC, or other legal entity should be aware that the officers of that entity bear personal compliance responsibility alongside the entity itself. A compliant operator generally ensures that all individuals and entities named or involved in ownership and management are informed of Article IV obligations, since joint and several liability means any one of them may be held fully accountable. Maintaining clear internal records of who holds officer roles helps demonstrate organizational awareness of these shared duties.

Section 14-187 of the Enfield Code means that tenants do not need to identify a single responsible party to pursue a compliance concern — any or all of the persons or entities covered by Article IV can be held accountable. If a landlord operates through a corporate structure, the officers of that corporation share personal responsibility, which may broaden the avenues available when raising a violation. Tenants who believe Article IV is not being followed may consider contacting the relevant Enfield municipal authority or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options exist.
