Sec. 22a-177. (Formerly Sec. 19-513a). Enforcement of regulations. Complaints. The commissioner shall enforce all regulations adopted by him. The commissioner, in the case of any written complaint or upon his own initiative, shall have the
power to enter and inspect any building or place, except a private residence, for the
purpose of investigating sources of air pollution and ascertaining compliance with any
such regulation. The commissioner may apply to any court having criminal jurisdiction
over such building or place, for a warrant to inspect such premises to determine compliance with such regulations or sources of air pollution. All information gained by such
inspection shall be kept confidential except as it relates directly to air pollution. If samples are taken for analysis, a duplicate of the analytical report shall be furnished promptly
to the person suspected of causing air pollution.
