Failure to Provide Hearing Under CGS §7-148(c)(7)(C)
Connecticut General Statutes §7-148 authorizes municipal parking ordinances and §7-152c provides for the appointment of hearing officers and a written notice / 10-day hearing demand procedure. If a respondent timely demands a hearing and none is scheduled within 90 days, the citation is voidable as a denial of due process. Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport all operate under this statutory frame.
