Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21 § 21-72
Appeal from department's actions.
Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by any action of the department may appeal therefrom in accordance with the provisions of section 4-183.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-72, any person who believes they have been harmed by a departmental action has the right to challenge that decision through a formal administrative appeal process governed by Connecticut's Uniform Administrative Procedure Act (§ 4-183). This provision ensures that department decisions are not final without recourse, giving affected parties a structured legal pathway to seek review. The rule applies broadly to anyone aggrieved, without limiting the right to a particular class of person.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-72 means that property owners or managers who receive an adverse ruling or enforcement action from the department are not without options — the statute preserves the right to appeal through the process outlined in § 4-183. Compliant operators generally keep records of all departmental correspondence and decisions, as documentation is typically central to any administrative appeal. Familiarity with the timelines and procedural requirements of § 4-183 is important, since administrative appeal deadlines are often strictly enforced.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-72 establishes that tenants or other individuals harmed by a department action have the right to appeal that decision under the procedures set out in § 4-183 of Connecticut law. This means a department ruling that negatively affects a tenant's housing situation is not necessarily the final word, and a formal review process exists. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help explain what qualifies as an appealable action and how the § 4-183 process generally works.
