Sec. 31-16. Complaints.
(a)   Only the person who claims to have been injured by a discriminatory housing practice or who believes he will be irrevocably injured by a discriminatory housing practice that has occurred or is occurring (hereafter referred to as "person aggrieved") may file a complaint with the Director of Planning and Development or his designated representative. Such complaints shall be in writing and shall identify the person alleged to have committed or alleged to be committing a discriminatory housing practice and shall state the facts upon which the allegations of a discriminatory housing practice are based.
(b)   If at any time the Director of Planning and Development or his designated representative shall receive or discover credible evidence and shall have probable cause to believe that any person or persons have committed or are committing a discriminatory housing practice as to which no complaint has been filed, the Director of Planning and Development or his designated representative may prepare and file a complaint upon his own motion and in his own name and such complaint shall thereafter be treated in the same manner as a complaint filed by a person aggrieved.
(c)   The Director of Planning and Development or his designated representative shall receive and accept notifications and referral complaints from the U.S. Attorney General and the secretary of housing and urban development pursuant to the provisions of Title VIII, Fair Housing Act of 1968, Public Law 90-284, and shall treat such complaints hereunder in the same manner as complaints filed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section.
(d)   No complaints may be filed later than 60 days following the occurrence of an alleged discriminatory housing practice. Upon the filing or referral of any complaint, the Director of Planning and Development or his representative shall provide notice of the complaint by furnishing a copy of such complaint to the person or persons named therein who allegedly committed or were threatening to commit an alleged discriminatory housing practice. The accused may file an answer to the complaint within 15 days of receipt of the written complaint.
