Clarice Elarabi is suing the city for the death of her brother, generous chef and gardener Michael Randall, in a 2019 illegal rooming house fire on West St.
Clarice Elarabi woke up at 3:12 a.m. feeling “just so hot. Like, on fire.”
She stuck her head out of the window. She took a cold shower. She tried and failed to go back to sleep. “I was so hot,” she said, “I didn’t know what was going on with me.”
Two hours later, Elarabi learned that her twin brother’s house in the Hill had erupted into flames.
The blaze took his life. It hurled her into life-altering grief. And Elarabi is now preparing to argue in court that the City of New Haven could have prevented it.
