New Haven Code of Ordinances ch. 12¾ § 12¾-6 establishes the formal requirements for a hearing notice issued by the Commission in housing accommodation matters. The notice must be written and signed by a Commission member or their designee, delivered to the landlord at least ten days before the hearing by personal service or registered mail with return receipt, and also provided to all tenants of the affected property. These procedural requirements ensure that all parties have adequate advance notice of and opportunity to participate in the hearing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 12¾ § 12¾-6, landlords subject to a Commission hearing can expect to receive official written notice signed by a Commission member or designated representative, delivered either in person or via registered mail with return receipt requested. Compliant operators generally keep their mailing addresses current with the Commission so that registered mail reaches them well before the ten-day minimum window closes. Confirming receipt of the return-receipt card and noting the scheduled hearing date are standard administrative steps for property owners managing Commission proceedings.

Ch. 12¾ § 12¾-6 gives tenants of a housing accommodation the right to receive notice whenever the Commission schedules a hearing concerning that property. This provision means tenants are not merely bystanders — they are entitled to be informed of the proceeding, which can be a basis for participation or for raising a procedural objection if notice was not properly given. Tenants who believe they did not receive required notice may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or the Commission directly to understand available options.
