For purposes of enforcing the provisions of sections 19a-332 to 19a-332c, inclusive,

authorized agent may enter at reasonable times any facility where asbestos abatement

statute, regulation, order or permit administered, adopted or enforced by him and the
court shall issue such order as is necessary to aid in enforcement.

basis of inspections or tests that there is a violation of sections 19a-332 to 19a-332c,
inclusive, or of section 19a-333 or of any regulations adopted thereunder or in the judgment of the commissioner or an authorized agent there is an endangerment of the public's
health, the commissioner or an authorized agent may issue a written or printed cease
activity order to any person responsible for the alleged violation or endangerment, and
after receipt of such order no person shall act except in accordance with the provisions
of the order.
(c) Whenever, in the judgment of the commissioner, or an authorized agent, any
person has engaged in, is engaged in, or is about to engage in any acts or practices which
constitute, or will constitute, a violation of any provision of sections 19a-332 to 19a-332c, inclusive, or of section 19a-333, or any regulations adopted thereunder or order
issued under sections 19a-332 to 19a-332c, inclusive, the commissioner may request
the Attorney General to make application to the appropriate court for an order enjoining
such acts or practices or for an order directing compliance with such provisions of
sections 19a-332 to 19a-332c, inclusive, or of section 19a-333, regulations or orders.
