Groton, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9 art. IV div. 1 (2026) § 9-105
Application of building code (Groton Art. IV Div. 1: Generally)
Operative Text
Any alterations to buildings or changes of use therein which may be caused directly or indirectly by the enforcement of this article shall be done in accordance with applicable sections of the building code of the town.
Section 9-105 of Groton's Code of Ordinances establishes that whenever enforcement of Article IV triggers alterations to a building or a change in how a building is used, those alterations or changes must comply with the town's building code. The rule creates a link between housing-regulation enforcement and the broader construction and safety standards already in place. It ensures that corrective or compliance-driven work does not bypass standard building-code requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-105, property owners in Groton who make alterations or change a building's use as a result of Article IV enforcement are expected to pull the appropriate permits and follow the town's building code throughout that work. Compliant operators typically coordinate with the local building department before beginning any enforcement-driven renovation or conversion. Keeping records of permits and inspections helps demonstrate that all required work met applicable building-code standards.

Section 9-105 means that if a landlord is required to make changes to a building because of Article IV enforcement, those changes must still meet Groton's building code — tenants are not left with substandard or unpermitted work as a result of compliance activity. If you believe alterations made to your building were done without proper permits or outside building-code standards, you may raise that concern with the town's building department or a local tenant-rights organization. Understanding this provision can also be relevant if a code violation is raised as part of a housing dispute.
