New Haven, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 17, art. XIV § 17-71
Provisions of article I apply
Operative Text
The provisions contained in article I "Licenses and Permits in General," of this chapter also apply to the activities regulated by this article.
Section 17-71 of the New Haven Code of Ordinances, Chapter 17, Article XIV establishes that the general licensing and permitting rules found in Article I of the same chapter extend to whatever activities are governed by Article XIV. In other words, the two sets of rules operate together, and compliance with one does not excuse non-compliance with the other. Any requirement, condition, or procedure spelled out in the 'Licenses and Permits in General' article carries the same force within the scope of Article XIV.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Article XIV of Chapter 17 should be aware that, under § 17-71, the baseline rules in Article I—covering general license and permit obligations—apply alongside the specific requirements of Article XIV. Operators who maintain compliance with Article XIV alone may still be found non-compliant if they have overlooked a general licensing or permitting condition from Article I. Reviewing both articles together is the standard practice for ensuring full regulatory compliance in New Haven.

Under § 17-71, tenants living in properties regulated by Article XIV of Chapter 17 can look to both Article XIV and the general Article I licensing provisions when evaluating whether a landlord is operating in compliance with New Haven's rules. If a property appears to be missing a required license or permit covered by either article, tenants may raise that issue as part of a housing complaint with the relevant New Haven municipal authority. Tenant-rights organizations in New Haven can help residents understand how the combined requirements of Article I and Article XIV may apply to their housing situation.
