The trial court refused to charge the jury with regard to negligence per se as to General Statutes §§ 47a-7, 47a-8, 47a-54 and 47a-55, and § 19-13-B1 (i) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. The court, in instructing the jury on simple negligence, did note that a violation of § 47a-8 renders an apartment uninhabitable. The court also instructed, how*128ever, that, in order to impose tort liability, the landlord had to have actual or constructive notice of such defect.
