Further hearing by board of review
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by the decision of the referee may file a petition for hearing before the board of review within 21 days after such decision has been rendered and served upon petitioner in the manner prescribed for the service of notice in § 152.10 . (Adopted 9-5-67)
Section 152.17 of the Hamden Housing Code establishes a second-tier appeal right within the housing code's administrative process. When a referee issues a decision, any party who believes that decision is wrong has 21 days from the date the decision is rendered and properly served to petition the board of review for a new hearing. The 21-day window begins running once service is completed in the manner specified by § 152.10.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.17, property owners or managers who receive an adverse referee decision have a defined window—21 days from proper service of that decision—to seek further review before the board of review. Compliant operators generally track the date of service carefully, since missing this deadline forecloses the board-of-review appeal path. Maintaining organized records of all notices and decisions received under the Hamden Housing Code supports timely action within these procedural timelines.

Section 152.17 gives tenants and other aggrieved parties the right to escalate an unfavorable referee decision to the board of review by filing a petition within 21 days of being served with that decision. The service method that triggers this deadline is the one described in § 152.10, so understanding when valid service occurred is important for preserving this appeal right. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with the Hamden Housing Code can help explain how the board-of-review process works and what options are generally available at this stage.
