Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. VII § 13-85

Plain English

Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. VII § 13-85, the local director of health holds authority to require a dwelling owner to hire a qualified lead professional—at the owner's own cost—to bring the property into compliance with Connecticut's RCSA Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control Regulations and to carry out lead hazard abatement according to an approved plan. The provision does not automatically trigger abatement; it empowers the director of health to issue such an order when circumstances warrant. The rule places both the financial burden and the operational responsibility for remediation squarely on the property owner.

For Property Managers

Property owners in Glastonbury should be aware that under § 13-85, the director of health can compel them to retain a certified lead professional and fund a full abatement effort aligned with an approved lead abatement plan. Operators who proactively maintain compliance with RCSA Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control Regulations reduce the likelihood of receiving a formal order under this provision. Keeping documentation of any lead inspections, risk assessments, and remediation work on file is a practice consistent with demonstrating ongoing compliance.

For Tenants

Section 13-85 of the Glastonbury Code of Ordinances gives the director of health the power to order a landlord to address lead hazards in a dwelling at the landlord's expense, which is a meaningful protection for occupants—particularly households with young children. Tenants who suspect lead hazards in their home may consider contacting the Glastonbury health department to request an inspection or inquiry under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what options exist if a landlord fails to comply with an order issued under § 13-85.
