Latest version.
  • A.

    Pursuant to § 7-148(c)(10)(A) of the Connecticut General Statutes, a civil citation officer shall first issue a written warning providing notice of the specific violation and the time period within which it shall be corrected before issuing a citation for the violation. Said time period shall not be less than 24 hours and not more than seven days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this section requiring a time period for correction or abatement prior to the issuance of a citation shall not apply to violations causing an immediate and significant danger to others or to violations of regulations adopted pursuant to Ordinance 175-1.

    B.

    If the person receiving the written warning fails to correct the violation within the time period specified in the warning, or immediately in the case of violations causing an immediate and significant danger to others or violations of regulations adopted pursuant to Ordinance 175-1, the civil citation officer shall issue a citation. Such citation shall provide the specific ordinance section violated, the fine imposed for the violation, whether abatement is required and the city official to whom said fine shall be paid. Such warning and citation shall be on forms approved by the Office of Legal Affairs.
