Operative Text
Every privately owned property in the town, including but not limited to, residential, nonresidential or mixed occupancy buildings and the land on which they are (or were) situated, used or intended to be used for dwelling, commercial, business or industrial occupancy, shall comply with the provisions of this article. Such compliance is required whether or not such buildings have been constructed, altered or repaired before or after the enactment of this article. This article shall also apply to mobile home parks.
Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-188 establishes that the property maintenance and standards rules contained in Article IV apply broadly to virtually all privately owned property within the town of Enfield. This includes residential, nonresidential, and mixed-use buildings, the land they sit on, and mobile home parks. The requirement applies regardless of when a building was constructed, altered, or repaired—meaning neither age nor prior renovation exempts a property from compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-188, compliant property owners and managers generally ensure that all privately held properties they operate—whether residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use—meet the standards set out in Article IV. Because the provision explicitly covers buildings constructed or altered before the article's enactment, operators of older or previously renovated properties typically review Article IV requirements rather than assuming a grandfather exemption applies. Owners of mobile home parks are similarly subject to these obligations and generally treat their properties as fully within the article's scope.

Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-188 confirms that tenants living in virtually any privately owned dwelling in Enfield—including apartments, mixed-use buildings, and mobile home parks—are covered by the protections and standards in Article IV. Because the rule applies regardless of a building's age or renovation history, tenants in older properties retain the same rights as those in newer ones. Tenants who believe their housing does not meet Article IV standards may consider contacting the relevant Enfield municipal authority, reviewing their rights with a local tenant-rights organization, or raising a violation as a defense in applicable proceedings.
