Plainville, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 314 (2026) § 314-6
First reinspection (Plainville Rental Property Art. I Certificates of Compliance)
Operative Text
If said dwelling or dwelling unit does not comply with the Housing Code, the Enforcement Officer shall furnish the applicant with a written list of the specific violations which would have to be corrected before a certificate of compliance could be issued for the dwelling. Upon the representation of the applicant that the listed violations have been corrected, and upon the payment of the first reinspection fee, the Enforcement Officer shall reinspect said dwelling and issue a certificate of compliance or present the applicant with a further list of violations as above provided.
Under Plainville, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 314 § 314-6, when a dwelling or dwelling unit fails to meet Housing Code standards, the Enforcement Officer must provide the applicant with a written list of the specific violations that need to be corrected before a certificate of compliance can be issued. Once the applicant reports that those violations have been addressed and pays the required first reinspection fee, the Enforcement Officer conducts a follow-up inspection. The outcome of that reinspection is either the issuance of a certificate of compliance or the delivery of an updated list of remaining violations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Plainville, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 314 § 314-6 generally keep careful records of the written violation list provided by the Enforcement Officer after a failed inspection. Compliant operators address each listed item before requesting a reinspection and ensure the first reinspection fee is paid at the time of that request. Maintaining documentation of completed repairs can help demonstrate that violations were corrected prior to the follow-up visit.

Section 314-6 of Plainville's Code of Ordinances establishes a formal process by which violations in a dwelling must be documented in writing and tracked through reinspection, which creates a record that tenants may find relevant to the condition of their unit. Tenants who believe their dwelling has unresolved Housing Code violations can inquire with the local Enforcement Officer about whether a violation list has been issued and whether a certificate of compliance is on file. Tenant-rights organizations in Connecticut can help residents understand how this inspection and compliance process may relate to their broader housing rights.
