Stamford, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-49
Resolution Conference
Operative Text
Within seven (7) days of the date of the Notice of Violation by the owner of a property, the owner may request a resolution conference with the Anti-Blight Officer. The purpose of the resolution conference is to determine whether the owner is willing and able to remediate the Blighted Property. Neither the request for, nor the scheduling of a resolution conference shall toll or abate the service of a civil citation upon the owner in accordance with Section 146-47 (d) or the imposition of fines. However, at the resolution conference, and except in cases involving a public health danger, the property owner may request an extension of time to complete the remediation. The Anti-Blight Officer may grant this request in his or her sole discretion and so notify the owner of the extension in writing. If the owner completes remediation within the time granted by the Anti-Blight Officer, the Anti-Blight Officer shall waive all fines imposed.
Under Stamford Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-49, a property owner who receives a Notice of Violation has seven days to request a resolution conference with the Anti-Blight Officer to discuss whether the owner can remediate the blighted property. Requesting or scheduling that conference does not pause civil citations or fines under § 146-47(d). However, if the owner asks for and receives a time extension at the conference—except in cases involving a public health danger—and completes remediation within that extended period, the Anti-Blight Officer has the authority to waive all fines that were imposed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 146-49, a compliant property owner who receives a Notice of Violation typically acts quickly, as the window to request a resolution conference with the Anti-Blight Officer is only seven days from the notice date. Operators should be aware that requesting the conference does not stop civil citations or fines from accruing in the meantime. If an extension of time to remediate is granted at the conference and the owner completes all required remediation within that window, the Anti-Blight Officer may waive the accumulated fines—making timely and thorough remediation a key operational priority.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Stamford Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-49 establishes a process by which a property owner can seek a resolution conference with the Anti-Blight Officer after receiving a Notice of Violation, but this process does not halt civil citations or fines against the owner. Tenants living in properties subject to blight enforcement may find it useful to know that fines continue to accrue regardless of any conference scheduling, and that remediation timelines can be extended at the Anti-Blight Officer's discretion. Tenants who believe their housing conditions are affected by blight enforcement under this provision may wish to contact local tenant-rights organizations or the City of Stamford for information about available resources and complaint pathways.
