Shelton, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 § 8-98
Supplied facilities; safe and effective
Operative Text
Every plumbing fixture and pipe, every chimney flue and smoke pipe, and every other facility, piece of equipment, or utility which is present in a dwelling unit, or which is required under this chapter, shall be constructed and installed in conformance with the applicable local or state codes, at the time of construction or alteration, and shall be maintained in satisfactory working conditions.
Shelton Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. III § 8-98 establishes that all plumbing fixtures, pipes, chimney flues, smoke pipes, and other facilities or equipment present in a dwelling unit — or required by the chapter — must be built and installed according to applicable local or state codes in effect at the time of construction or alteration. Beyond initial installation, the rule also requires that these systems and facilities remain in satisfactory working condition throughout their use. The provision covers both the moment of installation and the ongoing life of the equipment, meaning compliance is a continuing obligation rather than a one-time event.
