D’AURIA, J. In this appeal, we must interpret provi-
         sions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act (act),
         §§ 8-266 through 8-282, also known as the URRA, to
         determine whether a city can maintain a lien against a
         property to secure repayment of costs incurred when
         relocating residents who find themselves displaced fol-
         lowing the city’s enforcement of its building codes, even
         if the property owner did not cause the building to
         become uninhabitable. The defendant, the city of Hart-
         ford, contends that the trial court improperly dis-
         charged its lien on the property of the plaintiff, PPC
         Realty, LLC. Relying on the statutory text of the act,
         we agree with the defendant that its lien was proper,
         and we reverse the trial court’s judgment.
            The following undisputed facts and procedural his-
         tory relate to the defendant’s claim on appeal. The plain-
         tiff owns real property located at 820 Wethersfield
