Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-155
Removing, defacing placard
Operative Text
No person shall deface or remove the placard from any dwelling or dwelling unit which has been condemned as unfit for human habitation and placarded as such, except as provided in section 9-154 .
Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-155 establishes that once a dwelling or dwelling unit has been officially condemned as unfit for human habitation and a placard has been posted to reflect that status, the placard must remain in place and undisturbed. No individual — whether an owner, occupant, or anyone else — may remove or deface that placard unless the specific exception outlined in section 9-154 applies. The placard serves as a public notice of the condemnation status, and this rule protects the integrity of that notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-155, property owners and managers of a condemned dwelling are expected to leave any officially posted condemnation placard fully intact and unaltered. Compliant operators do not remove, cover, or damage such placards, and they ensure that anyone acting on their behalf — such as maintenance staff or contractors — is aware of this obligation. The only recognized exception is the process described in section 9-154, which governs the lawful removal of a placard after condemnation conditions have been properly addressed.

Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-155 means that if a dwelling or unit you occupy has been condemned and placarded, that notice is legally protected and cannot be removed or defaced by anyone outside the process described in section 9-154. Tenants who observe that a condemnation placard has been tampered with or removed without proper authorization may report that concern to the relevant local housing or code enforcement authority in Glastonbury. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain what a condemnation placard means for your housing situation and what general options may be available.
