Hamden, Conn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 § 152.23
Conditions for setting aside final decision
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by the final decision of the board of review may obtain judicial review by filing in a court of competent jurisdiction, within 21 days of the announcement of the decision, a petition praying that the decision be set aside in whole or in part. A copy of each petition so filed shall be forthwith transmitted to the board of review which shall file in a court a record of the proceedings upon which it based its decision. Upon the filing of the record, the court shall affirm, modify, or vacate the decision complained of in whole or in part. The findings of the board of review with respect to questions of fact shall be sustained if supported by substantial evidence on the record, considered as a whole. (Adopted 9-5-67)
Section 152.23 of the Hamden Housing Code establishes the process by which a party dissatisfied with a final decision of the board of review may seek judicial oversight of that decision. A petition must be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction within 21 days of the decision's announcement, and the board of review must then submit its full record of proceedings to the court. The court may affirm, modify, or vacate the board's decision, but factual findings made by the board will be upheld if they are supported by substantial evidence in the overall record.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.23 of the Hamden Housing Code, a landlord who receives an unfavorable final decision from the board of review has a defined 21-day window from the announcement of that decision to seek judicial review. Operators who pursue this path generally ensure that a petition is filed in the appropriate court within that deadline, as missing it may foreclose the judicial review option. Because the court gives deference to the board's factual findings when supported by substantial evidence, compliant operators typically maintain thorough documentation throughout the board proceedings.
