Stamford, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-9
Record of hearings
Operative Text
The proceedings at such hearing, including the findings and decision of the Health Commission, shall be reduced to writing and entered as a matter of public record in the office of the Director of Health. Such record shall also include a copy of every notice or order issued in connection with the matter. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Health Commission may seek relief therefrom as provided in Section C5-40-4(d) of the Charter of the City of Stamford. Further relief from a final decision of the Mayor may be sought as provided for by the laws of this state.
Under Stamford Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-9, the Health Commission is required to document all hearing proceedings—including its findings, decisions, and any related notices or orders—in writing, and to make those records publicly available through the Director of Health's office. Anyone who disagrees with the Health Commission's decision has a formal avenue to challenge it under Section C5-40-4(d) of the Stamford City Charter. If that challenge results in a final decision by the Mayor, state law provides a further avenue for review beyond the local level.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers involved in a Health Commission hearing under ch. 146 § 146-9 should be aware that all proceedings, findings, and orders become part of the public record maintained by the Director of Health. Compliant operators generally retain copies of any notices or orders issued in connection with their matter, since those documents are formally entered into the official record. If a decision goes against a property owner, the Charter's Section C5-40-4(d) process and, ultimately, state-law remedies represent the recognized channels for seeking review.

Under ch. 146 § 146-9, tenants have the right to access the written record of any Health Commission hearing—including findings, decisions, and all related notices or orders—through the Director of Health's office, since these are public documents. If a tenant is aggrieved by the Health Commission's decision, Section C5-40-4(d) of the Stamford City Charter outlines a formal process for seeking relief. Should that process result in a final mayoral decision that remains unsatisfactory, state law provides additional avenues for further review, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what those options generally involve.
