Ocean's Shmuel Aizenberg and attorney Gerry Giaimo in housing court.
Ocean Management’s Shmuel Aizenberg won’t have to take the witness stand in Waterbury after all — now that his company has struck a last-minute settlement in a long-standing child lead poisoning lawsuit that had been set to go to trial this week.
That jury trial was to determine how much the local megalandlord had to pay a mom whose son suffered “irreversible brain damage” while living at one of Ocean’s New Haven apartments on Edgewood Avenue.
While the dollar amount of that deal remains secret, public land records show that plenty of cash has been flowing into Ocean’s coffers — as the company has sold another 37 New Haven rental properties for nearly $13 million over the past two months.
Elizabeth Laconi, Anne Hartjen, Shayla Streater, and Amayah Smith.
Amid the sea of vendors and artisans on Saturday afternoon at the 27th annual Westville ArtWalk neighborhood festival and arts market, 11-year-old Amayah Smith looked around in awe at the multitude of goods people had to offer, from handmade soaps to crochet plushies. Amayah could imagine herself taking part, so folks better watch out at next year’s ArtWalk for a new business — “‘Mayah’s Joy” — bringing homemade stickers to you.
