Under New Britain Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. II, div. 2 § 13-52, any individual who believes they have been wrongly affected by a condemnation notice or order—declaring a dwelling or dwelling unit unfit for human habitation—has the right to formally contest that determination. The provision guarantees that a hearing before the housing board of appeals will be granted upon request, following the procedures outlined in sections 13-55 through 13-57. This creates a mandatory review mechanism, meaning the board cannot deny a hearing to someone who properly requests one.

Property owners and managers subject to a condemnation notice or placarding order under § 13-52 of the New Britain Code of Ordinances have a procedural right to challenge that determination before the housing board of appeals. Operators who receive such a notice generally document the condition of the property, gather relevant records, and submit a timely hearing request in accordance with the procedures in sections 13-55 through 13-57. Familiarity with those procedural sections is important, as they govern how the appeal is conducted and what steps must be followed.
