Putting problem landlords on notice in Hartford. The mayor revealed a list of landlords Monday he says violated the city’s housing code multiple times, including one the city is looking to get prosecuted for dragging their feet on repairs.

“We just want this to be over. It’s been a long four months,” Marisol Navarro, a Concord Hills Apartments tenant, said.

She’s tired of the uncertainty of where she will live next month. Navarro is one of about 30 households still in temporary housing after a fire in August at the Concord Hills Apartments in Hartford.

Navarro and other tenants have been frustrated with their landlord Greyhill Group for delays in repairs to the point they protested in front of their offices in New York City last week. They’ve also pushed Mayor Arunan Arulampalam to take forceful action against the landlord.

“The city makes Greyhill accountable, make them fix the apartments so we can return and go back to our happy place,” Navarro said.

On Monday, Arulamapalam announced the city would seek criminal charges against Greyhill Group through the State’s Attorney’s Office, saying it violated the city’s housing ordinances.

“There will be consequences, there will be accountability, and we will hold you to account,” he said.

The mayor also revealed a list of three out-of-state landlords he said have not been taking care of the buildings or tenants. That includes PAXE properties, which is owned by Aron Puretz of New York.

The city said multiple PAXE properties had to be vacated due to unsafe conditions, with 13 buildings in foreclosure and/or receivership.

The city also said landlord Moshe Grossbard of New York had notices for violating building codes, with liens on multiple properties for unpaid fines.

Finally, Whitehead Estates LLC, owned by Bishop Lamor Whitehead of New Jersey, had 24 units condemned by the city for no heat or water. Whitehead is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence after being convicted on fraud charges.

“If you don’t shape up, we are going to drive you out of the city. We’re going to make it hard for you to do business,” Arulampalam said.

Navarro said it sends a clear message that enough is enough when it comes to treating tenants right.

“Landlords in the state of Connecticut need to know that they cannot play with peoples’ lives,” she said.

Arulampalam also said Greyhill Group threatened to sue him in his personal capacity over comments he made about the dispute over repairs at Concord Hills.

NBC Connecticut reached out to the attorneys representing Greyhill Group for comment, but didn’t hear back.

The Iowa State women had their chance over Thanksgiving to record a resume-building win when they locked up with defending national champion South Carolina.

Now, days before another holiday, the Cyclones get a second shot at that.

Iowa State (9-3) heads to Uncasville, Conn. on Tuesday night to battle Connecticut. The game, which airs live on FOX Sports 1, will be part of the Invesco Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase from Mohegan Sun Arena.

Earlier this week, the Cyclones bounced back from a loss to in-state rival Iowa by blitzing Eastern Illinois, 87-55. Audi Crooks scored 30 and Addy Brown recorded a double-double in the easy win.

Nothing, though, will come easy against the Huskies, 2023 Final Four participants. 

Connecticut (9-1) reeled off eight straight wins, including victories over North Carolina, Ole Miss and Louisville, before falling to Notre Dame last week. They rebounded with a 79-44 victory vs. Georgetown.

Paige Bueckers has returned to form, averaging almost 20 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals per game. Sarah Strong adds 16 points and Azzi Fudd 10. 

The Huskies might have their minds focused past Iowa State and to Saturday when they face Juju Watkins and USC in another marquee showdown. 

This will be the first meeting between the Cyclones and Huskies, as ESPN’s FPI gives UConn a 98 percent chance to win.

We don’t know what 2025 will bring but these were the 10 Most Dangerous Cities in Connecticut for 2024.

Don’t let em’ fool you, these reports/stats are what they are but this is the reality in every state in our great nation. There are cities that struggle with crime, that is just life. However, I will put our bad up against most other states and we still come out looking awesome. Connecticut has a bad national reputation as a billionaire’s asylum.

Some people think we are walking around with sweaters tied around our necks collecting checks from daddy, others think we are dodging bullets 24/7. Like everything else in life, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Connecticut is a great place to live FULL STOP.
