Wallingford, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 167 (2026) § 167-11
Penalties for offenses (Wallingford Rental Housing Code)
Operative Text
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter and fails to comply with a notice of violation shall be subject to citation and fine in the amount of $50 for each violation. Each day's failure to comply with any such provision shall constitute a separate violation.
Wallingford, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 167 § 167-11 establishes a financial penalty structure for violations of Chapter 167's housing provisions. Any person who violates the chapter and then fails to comply with a notice of violation may be cited and fined $50 per violation. Crucially, each day that noncompliance continues counts as a separate, independent violation, meaning fines can accumulate on a daily basis.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 167-11, property owners and managers who receive a notice of violation should treat it as a time-sensitive matter, since each additional day of noncompliance can generate a new $50 fine. Operators who maintain properties in conformance with Chapter 167 and respond promptly to any notices of violation generally avoid the accumulating daily penalties this section authorizes. Keeping records of corrective actions and their dates is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating timely compliance.

Section 167-11 of Wallingford's Code of Ordinances gives tenants context for understanding how the town enforces housing standards against landlords who fail to correct cited violations. If a landlord has received a notice of violation and has not corrected the problem, tenants may report ongoing noncompliance to the appropriate Wallingford municipal enforcement office, which can issue daily fines under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Connecticut local ordinances can help residents understand what options are generally available when housing code violations go unaddressed.
