HARTFORD — A Hartford family with two young children avoided losing their home in the middle of this week’s snowstorm after community activists rallied to protest their eviction by a tax-delinquent, New York landlord.
The case, which also garnered the attention of local politicians, was resolved Friday after the tenants reached an agreement with the owner of 170 Earle St. to postpone their eviction by 30 days, the parties said during a hearing in Hartford Housing Court on Friday.
The mother, reached Friday while she was at work, declined to speak about the case. The Law Offices of Bruce Bergman, which represent the landlord, did not return a request for comment.
