Council Delays Starting Date Of Rooming House Ordinance
The Comminion Council voted to push the rooming house licensing ordinance start date from December 1 to January 20 to study proposed revisions sought by the Greater Bridgeport Landlords Protective League. Asst. City Atty James F. Kenney said the delay could lead to landlords dropping their court case, with Mayor Tedesco signaling openness to easing structural requirements if health and safety remain intact. Alderman Saffo recused himself due to his law firm’s representation of landlords. The landlords reportedly seek an appeals board to grant waivers from health and fire orders. The delay was urged by Alderman Brown amid Democratic control of the council.
