The expenses of executing an order, until the same are paid or discharged, shall be
a lien and charge upon rent and compensation due or then maturing from any tenant
or occupant of the dwelling and premises or part thereof to which any such order relates,
or in respect of which any such expenses were incurred. Recovery or repayment of such
expenses as are incurred in executing an order may be obtained by the enforcing officer
by collecting rents directly from the tenants of the dwelling involved, or by a suit
against the owner of the dwelling instituted and maintained in the name of the City
of New Haven, or both. Any such recovery or repayment shall be deposited in the housing
repair fund to be used for the purpose of the fund.
(h)
A fund to be known as the housing repair fund is hereby created and established. Into
such fund shall be deposited such monies as shall be appropriated or allotted by the
board of alders and the board of finance or shall be realized from the sale of bonds
issued pursuant to chapter 109 of the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut,
as amended, for that purpose, or such amounts as may from time to time be received
as grants or grant-in-aid under any state or federal program, or such other monies
as shall otherwise be made available to the fund.
