Hartford Ch. 7 and Ch. 32 require landlords to maintain rental units free of rodent and insect infestations, with the Hartford Department of Health enforcing complaints and CT §20-340 governing licensed pesticide applicators.
Hartford housing code under Ch. 7 obligates owners of rental dwellings to keep premises free of vermin, rodents, and insect infestations and to perform extermination when more than one unit is affected or common areas are involved. Tenants are responsible for single-unit infestations they caused. Hartford Department of Health investigates complaints and may order professional extermination. CT §20-340 requires that commercial pesticide applicators be licensed by CT DEEP. Restaurants and food businesses must maintain pest-control logs under the CT Food Code. Bedbug protocols follow CT Public Act 14-130 disclosure rules in rentals.
Health-department orders, fines up to $250 per day, mandatory extermination at owner expense, lease-termination rights, and DEEP penalties for unlicensed applicators.
