Operative Text
Whenever the director of health determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provision of this article, he shall give written notice of such alleged violation to the person or persons responsible therefor, as hereinafter provided. Such notice shall: (1) Set forth the violation; (2) Contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this article and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto; (3) Allow a reasonable time for the performance of any act it requires; (4) Be served upon the owner or his agent, or the occupant, as the case may require; provided, that, such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner or agent, or upon such occupant, if a copy thereof is served upon him personally or if a copy thereof is sent by certified mail to his last known address; or if a copy thereof is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling affected by the notice; or if he is served with such notice by any other method authorized or required under the laws of this state.
Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-35, when the director of health has reasonable grounds to believe a housing code violation has occurred, a formal written notice must be issued to the responsible party. That notice must identify the specific violation, outline the corrective steps needed to achieve compliance, and give the recipient a reasonable amount of time to make those corrections. The notice is considered properly delivered whether it is handed to the person directly, sent by certified mail to their last known address, posted conspicuously on or near the affected dwelling, or served by any other method permitted under Connecticut law.

Property owners and managers subject to Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-35 should be aware that a written violation notice from the director of health will describe the alleged infraction and spell out the remedial steps required for compliance. Compliant operators generally keep current contact information on file with relevant authorities so that certified-mail service reaches them without delay, and they maintain records of any notices received along with documentation of corrective actions taken. Responding within the timeframe specified in the notice and retaining evidence of completed remediation are practices consistent with meeting the article's requirements.

Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-35, occupants of a dwelling may also be served with a violation notice when they are the responsible party, and the notice must clearly state what the violation is and what steps are needed to correct it. Tenants who receive such a notice are entitled to a reasonable period to address any required actions, and those who believe a landlord is responsible for the underlying conditions may wish to contact the Glastonbury director of health's office to understand how responsibility is assigned.
