Killingly, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. III § 4-71
Kitchen Sink
Operative Text
Section 4-71 Kitchen Sink Every dwelling unit shall contain in every kitchen a kitchen sink in good working condition and properly connected to a water supply system which provides at all times an adequate amount of heated and unheated running water under pressure and which is connected to a sewer system.
Section 4-71 of Killingly's Rental Housing Standards Code requires that every dwelling unit include a kitchen sink that is in good working condition, connected to both a pressurized water supply delivering hot and cold running water at all times, and connected to a sewer system. The rule establishes a baseline habitability standard for kitchens, ensuring that running water is consistently available rather than intermittently. This requirement applies to all rental dwelling units subject to the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 4-71, compliant property operators ensure that every kitchen sink is functional, free of defects, and plumbed to a pressurized supply of both hot and cold water as well as a proper sewer connection. Routine maintenance practices typically include inspecting supply lines, drain connections, and water heater function to confirm continuous water availability. Documenting the condition of kitchen plumbing at move-in and after any repairs is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Section 4-71 establishes your right to a kitchen sink with continuous hot and cold running water under pressure and a working sewer connection in every dwelling unit. If a kitchen sink is broken, lacks hot water, or is improperly connected, that condition may constitute a violation of Killingly's Rental Housing Standards Code, which tenants can report to the local housing or code enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand the complaint process and what documentation may be useful when raising a concern under this provision.
