Hamden, Conn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 § 152.35
HOT AND COLD WATER LINES
Operative Text
Every kitchen sink, lavatory basin and bathtub or shower required under the provisions of §§ 152.31 to 152.34 , inclusive, shall be properly connected with both hot and cold water lines. (Adopted 9-5-67) Penalty, see § 152.199
Section 152.35 of the Hamden Housing Code requires that every kitchen sink, lavatory basin, and bathtub or shower — those fixtures mandated by §§ 152.31 through 152.34 — must be connected to both hot and cold water supply lines. The rule ensures that required plumbing fixtures are fully functional, not merely installed. A fixture that lacks either a hot or cold water connection would fall short of what this provision demands.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.35 of the Hamden Housing Code, compliant rental property operators ensure that every required kitchen sink, lavatory basin, and bathtub or shower is plumbed with both hot and cold water lines — not just one or the other. Routine inspections of plumbing connections help operators identify and correct deficiencies before a housing inspection surfaces them. Violations of § 152.35 carry penalties as specified in § 152.199, so maintaining proper connections is part of standard property upkeep.
