Addresses complaints about housing issues that are a health or safety risk to the people living there. Serious health and safety risks may include improper venting, sanitary sewer leaks, lack of heat or other utilities, blocked egress/exits, and conditions that may cause lead poisoning. Program staff investigate issues, provide education and information, and let the property owner know that the problems need to be fixed. If the property owner does not fix the problems, then the ECDOH can bring the owner to Housing Court or a Commissioner’s Hearing.
