Plain English

New Haven, Conn., Code of Ordinances tit. V § 102 establishes that any violation of Title V of the city's code is a civil infraction subject to fines under Connecticut General Statutes § 7-148(c)(7)(A). Critically, each calendar day that a violation continues counts as a separate, independent offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time.

For Property Managers

Under New Haven, Conn., Code of Ordinances tit. V § 102, property owners and managers who fail to comply with any provision of Title V face daily fines, with each day of non-compliance treated as a distinct violation. Operators who identify a potential code issue generally act promptly to correct it, since the per-day structure means financial exposure grows the longer a condition remains unaddressed. Familiarity with the citation procedures in C.G.S. § 7-152c can help operators understand how the city issues and processes these citations.
