Shelton, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 § 8-154
Paint requirements
Operative Text
Paint used after the effective date of this chapter on walls and ceilings and other interior portions of structure shall comply with the standards in section 8-93 .
Section 8-154 of the Shelton Code of Ordinances, Chapter 8, Article VI, establishes that any paint applied to interior surfaces—including walls, ceilings, and other interior portions of a structure—after the chapter's effective date must meet the standards set out in section 8-93. The rule applies prospectively, meaning it governs paint applied going forward rather than paint already in place before the chapter took effect. It sets a baseline material standard for interior painting work within covered structures.

Under Shelton Code § 8-154, property owners and managers who undertake any interior painting after the chapter's effective date are generally expected to verify that the paint products used conform to the standards referenced in section 8-93 before work begins. Compliant operators typically document the paint products used—such as by retaining product labels or data sheets—so they can demonstrate compliance if the property is inspected. Staying current with the specifications in section 8-93 is a routine part of maintenance planning for properties subject to this chapter.
