Under Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. III § 4-45, any party who disagrees with an order or decision issued by the commission has the right to appeal that decision to the Superior Court. The appeal must be filed within 30 days of receiving the written notice of the decision, which is required to include information about the right to appeal, the correct court, and the filing deadline. Importantly, filing an appeal does not automatically pause or suspend the commission's order unless the commission or the court specifically directs otherwise.

For Property Managers

Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. III § 4-45 establishes that commission orders generally remain in effect even if an appeal is filed, meaning compliant operators typically continue to fulfill any obligations imposed by a commission order while an appeal is pending. Property owners who receive a written decision from the commission should note the 30-day window to appeal to Superior Court, as that deadline is firm. Operators who believe a commission order is in error generally document their objections and track the appeal timeline carefully from the date of the written notice.

For Tenants

Under Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. III § 4-45, tenants who are parties to a commission proceeding and disagree with its outcome have the right to appeal to the Superior Court within 30 days of receiving the written decision notice. The written notice itself is required to spell out the right to appeal, which court to file in, and the applicable deadline. Tenants navigating this process may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand the procedural steps involved in pursuing an appeal.
