Section 152.32 of the Hamden Housing Code gives tenants the right to a private room with a working flush toilet and sink, connected to health-department-approved water and sewer systems. If a dwelling unit lacks these facilities or they fall into disrepair, that condition may constitute a violation of the Housing Code, and tenants can report such conditions to the appropriate Hamden housing or health authority.
