SUBJECT: 332 Howard Ave, no CO until rehabbed!!
Please be aware that the new owner of 332 Howard Ave,
whose name and residence is
Jianchao Xu [aka “Nash Street LLP”]
79 BETHANY FARMS RD
Bethany, CT 06524
Should NOT be given a Certificate of Occupancy [CO] until this building has been EXTENSIVELY rehabilitated.
I personally inspected the interior when it recently was bank-owned and the interior is completely dilapidated and hazardous.
In addition to walls, ceilings, etc. as well as rodent infestation, all MECHANICAL systems are in disrepair and not safe:
Plumbing
Electrical
Heating
ADDITIONALLY, there are innumerable building and Housing Code violations.
According to the website, portal.viewpermit. com
The last permit pulled for 332 HOWARD AV [i.e., that is viewable online] was on 8/8/2014 for “Siding : remove/replace wood siding as needed”
>>ALSO please be aware that this new owner, Jianchao Xu has a NOTORIOUS reputation for NOT Complying with codes and of Utterly ignoring Orders by city officials to rectify problems.
**See New Haven Independent article “House Call Paid On Dr. Landlord” published Nov 30, 2015.

Thank you!
