Plain English — not legal advice.
Under New Britain Code of Ordinances § 13-48, property owners and anyone holding an equitable interest—such as a contract purchaser or lienholder—are entitled to receive official notice when a structure is condemned as unfit for human habitation. Operators who hold or manage properties with multiple stakeholders generally maintain current contact information and ownership records so that notice can be properly served in accordance with sections 13-53 and 13-54. Keeping accurate records of all parties with equitable interests in a property helps ensure that the notice process required by this provision is completed without procedural complications.

New Britain Code of Ordinances § 13-48 requires that owners and equitable interest holders be formally notified when a structure is condemned as unfit for human habitation, using the procedures outlined in sections 13-53 and 13-54. While this provision focuses on notice to ownership parties, a condemnation determination can directly affect tenants' housing situations. Tenants who believe they are living in a condemned or potentially condemned structure may find it useful to contact the New Britain housing or code enforcement office for information about the status of their building, or to reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
