Section 9-36 of Groton's Code of Ordinances designates the community development office as the administrative backbone of the housing commission established under Article II. The office is responsible for maintaining records, managing correspondence, overseeing the article's administration, and carrying out any additional duties the commission assigns. Other municipal agencies are also expected to provide reasonable assistance to the commission when asked.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-36, landlords operating in Groton can expect that formal communications, record requests, and administrative matters related to Article II will be routed through the community development office. Compliant operators generally direct their correspondence and documentation submissions to that office rather than to the commission directly. Knowing this staffing structure helps property managers understand where to send inquiries and how the commission's administrative process functions.

Section 9-36 establishes that the community development office serves as the primary administrative contact for the Article II commission, meaning tenants seeking records, filing correspondence, or pursuing matters before the commission would generally engage with that office. The provision also ensures that other municipal agencies can be called upon to assist the commission, which may broaden the resources available when housing concerns are being reviewed. Tenants interested in understanding their rights under Article II may find it useful to contact the community development office or a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on navigating the process.
