Hamden, Conn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 § 152.18
Board of review to grant hearing
Operative Text
Upon receipt of a valid petition, the board of review shall grant the hearing requested, and shall advise petitioner of its decision in writing within 10 days of the day on which his petition was received. (Adopted 9-5-67)
Under Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.18, once the board of review receives a valid petition, it is required to grant the requested hearing — it has no discretion to deny it. The board must also notify the petitioner of its decision in writing, and that written notice must be sent within 10 days of the date the petition was received. This provision establishes both a mandatory hearing right and a firm timeline for the board's written response.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.18 is relevant to property owners who may be involved in a housing code matter that goes before the board of review. Compliant operators generally keep records of any petition submissions and track the 10-day window within which the board is required to issue its written decision. Being aware of this timeline helps operators stay informed about the status of any pending review proceedings.

Under Hamden Ch. 152 § 152.18, tenants or other petitioners who submit a valid petition to the board of review have a right to have that hearing granted — the board is obligated to do so. Petitioners are also entitled to receive written notice of the board's decision within 10 days of the petition's receipt. Those who do not receive timely written notice may wish to contact the board directly, consult a tenant-rights organization, or explore other available channels to follow up on the status of their petition.
