Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-38
Final order
Operative Text
If the notice issued pursuant to section 9-35 is sustained, modified, or extended, it shall become an order as so sustained, modified or extended. Any notice served pursuant to such section shall automatically become an order if a written petition for a hearing is not filed in the office of the chairman of the housing code appeals committee within fifteen (15) days after such notice is served.
Under Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-38, a housing code notice issued under section 9-35 can be converted into a binding final order in two ways: either through a formal hearing process that sustains, modifies, or extends the notice, or automatically if no written petition for a hearing is filed within fifteen days of service. Once a notice becomes an order, it carries the full legal weight of an official housing code determination. This provision establishes the procedural mechanism by which preliminary notices gain enforceable order status.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a section 9-35 notice should be aware that under § 9-38, the clock begins running at the moment the notice is served. Compliant operators typically track the fifteen-day window carefully, as failing to file a written petition with the housing code appeals committee chairman within that period results in the notice automatically becoming a binding order. Keeping records of notice receipt dates and any correspondence with the appeals committee is a standard practice for managing compliance under this provision.

Section 9-38 of the Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III establishes that housing code notices can become enforceable orders, which may be relevant to tenants living in properties subject to such notices. Tenants have an interest in knowing whether a notice issued against their building has become a final order, since an order reflects an official determination about housing code compliance. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Glastonbury's housing code process can help residents understand how the appeals committee process under this provision may relate to their housing situation.
