Judge Seizes Control of Six ‘Unlivable’ Apartments from Slumlord Joshua Bruno
August 5, 2022
On Monday, US Bankruptcy Judge Meredith Grabill said that Bruno's complexes are "in a state of abject decrepitude," and took control of Oakmont, Cypress Park, Forest Park, Liberty Park, Washington Place, and Riverview Apartments. According to Grabill, Bruno received $800,000 in hurricane insurance money that he thing "surreptitiously" caused to "vanish in the wind without one receipt, canceled check, or other primary-source support to show that the proceeds were spent on repairs to the properties."
