Landlord Guilty Over Unrepaired Wahconah Street Homes
District Court Judge Frank W. Cimini found Te-year-old Michael Delusky guilty of failing to repair a duplex at 534 and 536 Wahconah Street. Condemnation may proceed as health commissioner Dr Harold Stein warned demolition could occur within a day or two, though a one-year limit on orders exists. The case spots Delusky alongside several code violations, with 16 tenants including children to be relocated if vacating proceeds. The ruling marks Wahconah Street’s third condemned house in a month amid housing shortages and safety concerns.
