Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7 § 7-148l
Appeals.
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by any order of the board, commission, council, committee or other agency established or designated pursuant to sections 7-148i to 7-148n, inclusive, and subparagraph (B) of subdivision (9) of subsection (c) of section 7-148 may appeal to the State Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. Any such appeal shall be filed within thirty days of the mailing of the written decision.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148l, any person who is dissatisfied with an order issued by a local board, commission, council, committee, or other agency operating under Connecticut's fair housing framework has the right to appeal that decision to the State Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. The appeal must be filed within thirty days of the date the written decision is mailed. This provision creates a formal administrative review pathway outside the local agency that originally issued the order.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148l establishes that orders issued by local fair housing agencies are not necessarily final — any aggrieved party, including a property owner or manager, may seek review before the State Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. Operators who receive an adverse order from a local agency generally track the mailing date of the written decision carefully, since the thirty-day appeal window begins at that point. Maintaining organized records of all agency correspondence helps ensure that deadlines under this provision are not inadvertently missed.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-148l gives tenants and other aggrieved individuals a right to appeal an unfavorable local agency order to the State Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, providing a higher-level administrative forum for review. The thirty-day clock for filing that appeal starts running from the date the written decision is mailed, so preserving the envelope or any mailing notice can be important for establishing the timeline. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices familiar with Connecticut housing law can help individuals understand what this appeal process involves and what options may be available.
