Abandoned and Blighted Property in South Hartford


The Hartford cityscape is dotted with blighted and abandoned buildings; the purpose of this map is to link these buildings directly to their owners.  This map is a result of a collaboration between HART, faculty and students at Trinity College, and the Trinfo.Cafe.

The neighborhood organizing group HART - Hartford Areas Rally Together - has long fought to improve every aspect of life in Hartford. Currently, HART is working with city officials from the Mayor's Office, Department of Development Services, and Licenses & Inspections to enforce the new blight ordinance, which enforces fines on landlords who fail to property maintain their property. The new blight ordinance - authored by the HART Problem Properties Committee - was passed in September 2006.

While detracting from the aesthetic value of Hartford, blighted and abandoned buildings also decrease property values, lure drug dealers and crime, and leave the city without crucial tax income.

Note:  Hartford Areas Rally Together (HART) and Trinity College have exerted maximum effort in locating the names of building owners in the greater Hartford area. Using the City of Hartford's Assessor's Web site and State of Connecticut's Commercial Recording Division, this web site lists the names of owners and their respective properties. Individual names of owners and principals/managers of property are also included. HART and Trinity College are absolved of any responsibility if land, business, state or city records list the incorrect names of owners.  If your property was mistakenly included on these maps, please contact us at 860-525-3449 for assistance.
