Operative Text
(a) The owner of a mobile manufactured home park, as defined in section 21-64, shall notify all residents of such park of the violation or possible violation of a general statute or regulation under the jurisdiction of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection if the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection notifies, in writing, the owner of such mobile manufactured home park of the commissioner's determination that a violation or possible violation of any such general statute or regulation, other than a record-keeping or reporting violation, has occurred on the plot of ground where such mobile manufactured home park is located. (b) Any notice provided by an owner of a mobile manufactured home park, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, shall be: (1) Provided to residents of such mobile manufactured home park not later than ten days after such owner receives written notice from the commissioner of an actual or possible violation; (2) sent to such residents utilizing a method that is reasonably calculated to apprise all residents of such mobile manufactured home park of such violation or possible violation; and (3) sufficient to reasonably inform such residents of the nature of the actual or possible violation. (c) Not later than five days after such owner provides residents of such park with any notice required under subsection (a) of this section, such owner shall provide the commissioner with a written certification indicating that such notice has been provided to such residents. Such certification shall describe the method used by such owner to provide notice to residents. (d) Upon providing an owner of a mobile manufactured home park with written notice of a violation or possible violation of a general statute or regulation under the jurisdiction of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection shall also provide the Commissioner of Consumer Protection with a copy of such notice. (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect any other notice requirement, including, but not limited to, compliance with any other notice requirement, that the owner of a mobile manufactured home park may be required to provide such residents under any regulation or other provision of the general statutes.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-84b, when Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection notifies a mobile manufactured home park owner of an actual or possible environmental violation on the park's property, that owner must promptly inform all residents. The notice must be delivered within ten days, using a method reasonably likely to reach everyone, and must adequately describe the nature of the violation. The owner must then certify to the commissioner within five days that residents were notified and explain the method used.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-84b, compliant mobile manufactured home park owners act quickly upon receiving written notice from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection about an actual or possible environmental violation. They deliver resident notices within ten days using a broadly effective communication method—such as posted notices, direct mail, or hand delivery—that adequately describes the violation. Within five days of notifying residents, they submit a written certification to the commissioner describing the method used, and they remain mindful that this provision does not replace any other applicable notice obligations.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-84b gives mobile manufactured home park residents the right to be informed when an environmental violation or possible violation has been identified on their park's property. If a resident believes the park owner failed to provide timely or adequate notice, that resident may consider filing a complaint with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection or the Department of Consumer Protection, which also receives a copy of the commissioner's notice. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing law can help residents understand what options may be available.
