Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47 § 47-267
Requirements for public offering statement when community contains conversion building.
Operative Text
(a) The public offering statement of a common interest community containing any conversion building shall contain, in addition to the information required by section 47-264: (1) A statement by the declarant, incorporating a report prepared by a registered architect or engineer, describing the present condition of all structural components and mechanical and electrical installations material to the use and enjoyment of the building; (2) a statement by the declarant of the approximate dates of construction, installation and major repairs, and the expected remaining useful life of each item reported on in subdivision (1) of this subsection, together with the estimated cost, in current dollars, of replacing each of the same; and (3) a list of any outstanding notices from the municipality of uncured violations of building code or other municipal regulations, together with the estimated cost of curing those violations. (b) This section applies only to buildings containing units that may be occupied for residential use. In those cases, this section shall apply to all such buildings and the declarant shall provide a purchaser with the information required by subsection (a) of this section even if the declarant is otherwise exempt under subsection (c) of section 47-215 from the requirement of delivering a public offering statement because the common interest community (A) contains no more than twelve units, (B) is not subject to any development rights and (C) does not utilize a master association.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-267 requires that when a common interest community includes a conversion building — one being converted from another use into individually owned units — the public offering statement must go beyond the standard disclosures. It must include a professional assessment of structural, mechanical, and electrical systems by a registered architect or engineer, along with estimated remaining useful lives and replacement costs for those systems. It must also disclose any outstanding municipal code violations and the estimated cost to cure them. Notably, these requirements apply to all residential conversion buildings, even small communities that might otherwise be exempt from delivering a public offering statement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-267, declarants offering units in a residential conversion building are responsible for commissioning a report from a registered architect or engineer covering the condition of structural components and mechanical and electrical systems. The public offering statement must incorporate that report and add the declarant's own statements about construction dates, major repairs, expected remaining useful lives, and current-dollar replacement cost estimates for each reported item. Operators should also compile and disclose any open municipal notices of building code or regulatory violations, including estimated cure costs — and these obligations apply even to small communities of twelve or fewer units that would otherwise qualify for an exemption.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-267 gives prospective buyers of units in a residential conversion building the right to receive detailed disclosures about the physical condition of the building before purchase, including an engineer's or architect's assessment of structural and mechanical systems, estimated replacement costs, and any unresolved municipal code violations. If a declarant fails to provide this information, a buyer may have grounds to raise that omission as a legal issue in connection with the transaction. Tenants and prospective purchasers who believe these disclosures were incomplete or withheld may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or housing attorney to understand what remedies may be available under Connecticut law.
