Plain English

Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. IV § 4-154 requires that every rooming unit within a roominghouse display a sign prohibiting cooking in that space. The sign must use lettering at least three-eighths of an inch tall and must remain posted continuously while the unit is occupied. This rule applies to the physical space itself, not to any particular individual's conduct beyond the posting obligation.

For Property Managers

Under Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. IV § 4-154, operators of roominghouses are generally expected to place a compliant 'no cooking permitted in this room' sign in each rooming unit before or at the time of occupancy. The lettering on each sign must meet the minimum height requirement of three-eighths of an inch to satisfy the provision. Compliant operators typically inspect units regularly to confirm that signs remain posted throughout the duration of any occupancy.

For Tenants

Norwich Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. IV § 4-154 places the sign-posting obligation squarely on the roominghouse operator, not on tenants. If a required sign is absent from your unit, that may indicate the operator is not meeting their obligations under this provision. Tenants who believe a violation exists can consider contacting the local code enforcement or housing authority, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
