Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a § 47a-8
(Formerly Sec. 47-24c). Paint not conforming to standards renders property unfit.
Operative Text
Section 47a-8 is repealed, effective July 1, 1994.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-8, which once addressed how non-conforming paint could render residential property unfit for habitation, was formally repealed effective July 1, 1994. As a result, this specific statutory provision no longer carries any operative legal force in Connecticut. Any standards or obligations that may have existed under § 47a-8 must now be located in other applicable state or local laws.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers should be aware that Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-8 was repealed as of July 1, 1994, and no longer imposes direct obligations on its own. Compliant operators typically look to other Connecticut statutes, local housing codes, and federal lead-paint regulations to understand current paint-safety requirements. Consulting those separate authorities is the general practice for staying current with habitability standards that § 47a-8 once addressed.
