Prohibited
Operative Text
No person shall violate any provision of this chapter, or any provision of any rule or regulation adopted by the director of health pursuant to authority granted by this chapter. (Adopted 9-5-67) Penalty, see § 152.199
Section 152.110 of the Hamden Housing Code establishes a blanket prohibition against violating any part of Chapter 152, as well as any rules or regulations that the director of health has adopted under the authority granted by that chapter. The provision functions as a general enforcement anchor, meaning that a breach of any specific housing code requirement in the chapter also constitutes a violation of this section. Penalties for violations are governed by § 152.199.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Hamden are expected to comply with every substantive requirement found throughout Chapter 152, as well as any supplemental rules issued by the director of health under that chapter's authority. Because § 152.110 treats any breach of the chapter as its own prohibited act, a compliant operator typically conducts regular inspections, addresses maintenance deficiencies promptly, and stays current with any administrative regulations the director of health may issue. Penalty exposure for non-compliance is set out in § 152.199.

Section 152.110 gives tenants a broad basis for identifying housing code violations, since any failure to meet the standards of Chapter 152 or related health-department regulations is itself a prohibited act. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to meet these standards may document conditions, raise the violation in relevant proceedings, or contact Hamden's health department to report concerns. The penalty framework referenced in § 152.199 may also be relevant when exploring enforcement options through tenant-rights organizations or other available channels.
