New Britain, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 13 § 13-202
Applicability of rooming house provisions to hotels and motels
Operative Text
Every provision of this article which applies to rooming houses shall also apply to hotels, except to the extent that any such provision may be found to be in conflict with the laws of the state or with lawful regulations of any state board or agency.
New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 9 § 13-202 extends the same housing standards that govern rooming houses to hotels and motels operating within the city. Any rooming house rule in Article II applies equally to hotel and motel operators, unless that rule directly conflicts with Connecticut state law or a valid state agency regulation. Where such a conflict exists, state law takes precedence and the local provision yields to that extent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 13-202, hotel and motel operators in New Britain are generally expected to meet the same Article II standards that rooming house operators must follow, covering areas such as maintenance, occupancy, and habitability. Compliant operators typically audit their properties against the full set of rooming house provisions in Article II to identify any applicable requirements. Where a specific local rule conflicts with a Connecticut state statute or state agency regulation, the state standard controls, so operators often track both local and state requirements together.

Section 13-202 means that guests or residents of New Britain hotels and motels are entitled to the same baseline protections that Article II affords to rooming house occupants. If conditions in a hotel or motel appear to fall short of those standards, tenants and residents can raise the applicability of § 13-202 when reporting concerns to local housing or code enforcement authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New Britain's Code of Ordinances can help residents understand which specific Article II provisions apply to their living situation.
