Compliance with other provisions of article
Operative Text
No person shall operate a rooming house, or shall occupy or let to another for occupancy, any rooming house except in compliance with the provisions of divisions 2 and 6 of this article. No rooming unit shall be occupied or let unless it is clean, sanitary, and fit for human occupancy, and shall otherwise be in compliance with all applicable requirements of all applicable local and state regulations.
Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-136 establishes that rooming houses must be operated, occupied, and rented only in accordance with the specific divisions of the article governing them, as well as all applicable local and state regulations. Beyond those structural requirements, every individual rooming unit must meet a baseline standard of cleanliness, sanitation, and fitness for human habitation before it may be occupied or rented. The provision applies to all parties involved — operators, landlords, and occupants alike.

Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-136, operators and landlords of rooming houses are generally expected to ensure that their properties conform to the requirements set out in divisions 2 and 6 of the article before allowing any occupancy or rental. Compliant operators typically maintain each rooming unit in a clean, sanitary condition and verify that it meets the fitness-for-habitation standard prior to letting. Staying current with applicable local and state regulations — not just the ordinance itself — is part of ongoing compliance for rooming house management.
