New Britain, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-194
Same—Issuance; fees
Operative Text
No permit to operate a rooming house shall be issued unless the rooming house for which the permit is sought is found after inspection to meet the applicable requirements of this article and any rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. The annual fee for any such permit shall be a minimum of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) or two dollars ($2.00) per year per room.
New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-194 establishes that a rooming house operating permit may only be issued after an inspection confirms the property meets all applicable requirements of the article and any related rules. The annual permit fee is set at either $150.00 or $2.00 per room per year, whichever amount is greater. This provision ties the legal right to operate a rooming house directly to both a satisfactory inspection outcome and payment of the required fee.

Under New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-194, operators of rooming houses generally ensure their property is inspection-ready before applying for or renewing an operating permit. Compliant operators budget for the annual permit fee—calculated as the greater of $150.00 or $2.00 per room—and schedule inspections in a timely manner to avoid lapses in their permit status. Maintaining the property in conformance with all applicable requirements of the article and any adopted regulations is central to securing and retaining a valid permit.
