Waterbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 154 § 154.023
SUPPLIED FACILITIES (Waterbury Housing Code)
Operative Text
Every supplied facility, piece of equipment or utility which is required under this chapter shall be so constructed or installed that it will function safely and effectively, and shall be maintained in satisfactory working condition. (1967 Code, § 9-22) Penalty, see § 10.99
Under Waterbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 154 § 154.023, any facility, piece of equipment, or utility that a landlord is required to provide under Chapter 154 must be properly constructed or installed so that it operates safely and effectively. Beyond initial installation, the rule also requires that these supplied items be kept in satisfactory working condition on an ongoing basis. This means the obligation is not fulfilled simply by providing the item at move-in; continued maintenance is part of the requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 154.023, compliant property operators generally ensure that every required facility, piece of equipment, or utility is installed correctly from the outset and then kept in satisfactory working order throughout the tenancy. Routine inspection schedules, prompt responses to maintenance requests, and documented repair records are practices commonly associated with meeting this standard. Failure to maintain supplied facilities in working condition may trigger penalties referenced in § 10.99 of the Waterbury Code.

Section 154.023 of the Waterbury Code gives tenants a basis to raise concerns when a landlord-supplied facility, piece of equipment, or utility is not functioning safely or effectively. If a required item falls into disrepair, tenants may have grounds to document the condition, notify the landlord in writing, and contact the appropriate Waterbury housing or code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations in Connecticut can also help residents understand what options may be available when supplied facilities are not maintained as the ordinance requires.
