Operative Text
A. Whenever upon inspection of the multiple dwelling, rooming house or hotel, the Director of Health finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of the provisions of this chapter or of any applicable rules and regulations pursuant thereto, he shall serve the owner or his duly authorized agent or operator with notice of such violation as provided in § 146-7 . Such notice shall also state that unless the violations cited are corrected within a reasonable time, not to exceed sixty (60) days, the operating license shall be denied or suspended. B. After passage of the period of time allowed for the correction of any alleged violation, the Director of Health shall reinspect the multiple dwelling, rooming house or hotel, and if he determines that the conditions in violation have not been corrected, he may issue an order denying or suspending the operating license.
Under Stamford Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-37, when the Director of Health discovers violations of the city's housing code during an inspection of a multiple dwelling, rooming house, or hotel, a formal notice is issued to the owner or operator. That notice sets a correction deadline of no more than 60 days and warns that failure to remedy the cited conditions could result in denial or suspension of the property's operating license. After the deadline passes, the Director of Health conducts a follow-up inspection and, if violations remain unaddressed, may formally deny or suspend the license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multiple dwellings, rooming houses, or hotels in Stamford should be aware that under § 146-37, a violation notice from the Director of Health triggers a correction window of up to 60 days. Compliant operators typically document all remediation steps taken during that period and ensure conditions are fully resolved before the reinspection occurs. Failure to correct cited violations by the deadline can result in the denial or suspension of the property's operating license, which would affect the legal ability to continue operating.
