Stamford, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-7

A. Whenever the Director of Health determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provision of this Article or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice of such alleged violation to the person or persons responsible therefor, as hereinafter provided.
B. Such notice shall:
(1) Be put in writing.
(2) Include a statement of the reason why it is being issued.
(3) Allow a reasonable time, not to exceed sixty (60) days, for the correction of any alleged violation.
(4) Be served upon the owner or his designated agent, pursuant to § 146-34 , or the occupant, as the case may require; provided that such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner or agent or upon such occupant if a copy thereof is served upon him personally, or if a copy thereof is sent by registered or certified mail to his last known address, or if a copy thereof is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling affected by the notice, or if he is served with such notice by any other method authorized or required by the laws of this state.
C. Such notice may contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
D. After the passage of the period of time allowed for the correction of any alleged violation, the Health Officer shall reinspect the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, hotel, hotel unit or premises described in the notice, following the procedure detailed in § § 146-5 and 146-6 . Before such reinspection is undertaken, the owner, operator or person in charge of the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, hotel, hotel unit or premises to be inspected shall be informed that any evidence of a violation of any provision of this chapter or any regulation pursuant thereto may form the basis of a criminal prosecution. The consent of the owner, operator or person in charge thereof shall then be requested, and no such reinspection shall be undertaken without such consent.
E. In the event such consent to reinspection is refused and where the Health Officer has reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of any provision of this chapter or any regulation pursuant thereto has occurred or is occurring, he shall apply for a search warrant describing the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, hotel, hotel unit or premises in question. Upon procurement of a duly issued search warrant, the Health Officer is hereby authorized to enter, inspect, examine and survey the described dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit, hotel, hotel unit or premises for the purpose of determining whether there has been compliance with the notice of violation.
