Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess housing strength shown in new first quarter report
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
“As affordability is tested in Southern Westchester, buyer demand has rippled outward—first to Northern Westchester, then Putnam, and now Dutchess— each area absorbing momentum from the last.”
— Liz Nunan, President & CEO, Houlihan Lawrence
Residential real estate markets exhibited strength in the first quarter of 2025, according to a new report covering the period that was released by Houlihan Lawrence.
“From south to north, a familiar pattern has re-emerged: as affordability continues to be tested in Southern Westchester, buyer activity has radiated outward. Lower Westchester, historically one of the most competitive areas, saw resilient pricing and a slight uptick in sales,” said Liz Nunan, president and CEO of Houlihan Lawrence. "But as inventory remained limited and prices
climbed, buyers expanded their search parameters geographically, first into Northern Westchester, then into Putnam, and increasingly into Dutchess. This outward flow has created a subtle ripple effect, with each ring absorbing demand from the one below it.”
"Particularly active submarkets included Scarsdale and Tuckahoe in the south, while Valhalla and White Plains drove notable growth in central Westchester," Nunan said. "In the north, Bedford and Chappaqua saw strong appreciation, with median prices climbing by double digits. In Putnam County, total sales
volume declined 9% versus Q1 2024, but that headline masks a more nuanced reality. Median prices rose 10%, indicating that demand has not disappeared, it has simply shifted upmarket. Mahopac, Carmel, and Brewster remain highly active, with buyers drawn to the relative affordability and quality of life just beyond Westchester’s northern border. Dutchess County, while not detailed in full within this section, continues to attract interest, particularly in commuter friendly hubs like Beacon, LaGrange, and Red Hook."
In Westchester County, single-family home sales rose 8.5% compared with Q1 2024. This was accompanied by a 5% increase in the average sale price, which reached $1.18 million. Despite a notable rise in average days on the market, from 39 to 67, the sale-to-list price ratio remained a robust 101.5%, suggesting that well-positioned homes are still finding ready buyers. There were 813 single-family homes sold in the first quarter of 2025 in Westchester compared with 743 in the first quarter of last year. The median sale price was $875,000 compared with $837,500 for the first quarter of 2024.
In Putnam County, single-family home sales were down 8% from the first quarter of 2024, with 142 sales in the first quarter of this year compared wit 154 in the first quarter a year ago. The median price rose 10% to $551,000.
In Dutchess County, single-family home sales fell 4$, from 422 in the first quarter of 2024 to 405 in the first quarter of 2025. The median sale price was up 12.2% from $432,200 to $485,000.
“Looking ahead, the second quarter of 2025 is expected to bring a modest increase in listing activity as would-be sellers grow more comfortable with the new normal of interest rates and recalibrated expectations. Buyers remain ready, but selective,” Nunan said.

Appeals court upholds county and Standard Amusements on tax status of Playland
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court has upheld a ruling against the City of Rye regarding the tax status of Playland Park. Rye was trying to collect $3.6 million in taxes from Standard Amusements, which had been managing the park under a contract with the county. Standard Amusements and the county fought Rye’s claim that taxes were due.
The dispute dates from May 26, 2022, when Rye sent a letter to the Westchester County Tax Commission that claimed the tax status of the park had changed and it would be sending Standard Amusements a tax bill of $3.6 million. Rye claimed that because Playland was being operated under contract and not by the county for public use, the park was taxable.
The original ruling against Rye came in State Supreme Court in Westchester by Judge Anne E. Minihan on Sept. 26, 2023. Rye appealed the decision.
In rejecting Rye's appeal, the judges found the county did not officially transfer ownership of Playland Park to Standard Amusements, and that it was being operated under contract as a public park. Therefore, the removal of the tax exemption for Playland Park by the City of Rye was not justified. In its decision, the appellate court noted that the management contract
between the county and Standard Amusements required Standard to “manage and operate Playland Park consistent with its current recreational uses as a public park facility.” The contract also required that Standard Amusements submit plans to the county annually regarding the operation, improvement, and advertisement of the park. The appellate court noted that the management agreement specifically stated that “[n]either Playland Park, nor any land, building, space, improvement or equipment is being sold or leased hereunder, nor is any interest in real property being granted, or any possessory right with respect to Playland Park or any part thereof being granted.”
The court ruled the contract between Standard and the county did not grant Standard enough “dominion and control” over the property so as to transfer ownership to Standard Amusements and justify revocation of the park's long-standing tax exemption.
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “Westchester County has always maintained that Playland Park should have never been removed from tax exempt status by the City of Rye. The unnecessary legal expenses, the consequences of the self-inflicted negative financial impact to both the City of Rye and the Rye School District on this ill-advised change of tax status cannot be understated.”

State lawmakers make pitch for dropping public benefits charge
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
NEW CANAAN – “Angry, frustrated, mad, annoyed, ripped off.” Those were just some of the words constituents used to describe about energy costs in Connecticut at a recent town hall at New Canaan Library.
They were read aloud by state Sen. Ryan Fazio, R-Greenwich, at the Senate GOP Grassroots Tour stop on Tuesday, April 22. Joined by state Deputy House Republican Leader Tom O’Dea of New Canaan, Fazio used the opportunity to lobby for his six-point plan to fix the ever-growing electric bill crisis.
“I can’t tell you how many emails and hand-written letters I’ve gotten from constituents from the district and across the state who aren’t just upset, but they’re hurting,” Fazio said about the high electric bills. “Some people don’t know how they can afford their prescription drugs, the rent and putting food on the table for their family because of these exorbitantly high electric bills.”
O’Dea chimed in that while representatives of PURA (Public Utilities Regulatory Authority) and Eversource pointed fingers about who’s to blame, he told constituents at a similar town hall in January it was the state lawmakers themselves.
“I said at that presentation, ‘Who do you blame? You blame legislators,’” O’Dea said. “We’re the ones that enact the laws that have put a lot of things on your bill. I told you to hold us accountable – the entire legislature.”
Part of that “fix” is a six-point plan that is laid out in a Senate bill co-sponsored by Fazio, O’Dea and a slew of lawmakers. The thing is
(D-Hartford), who is chair of the Finance, Revenue & Bonding Committee, fellow Democrat Rep. Chris Poulos of Southington and Republican Tom Delnicki of South Windsor.
That bill would establish the Connecticut Energy Procurement Authority; establish the Electric Rate Stabilization Fund; redefine "Class I renewable energy source" to include electricity generated from any nuclear power generating facility in the state; require the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to incorporate time-of-use components into electric rates; establish the Energy Infrastructure Transition Fund; allow for electric distribution companies to issue securities concerning certain storm remediation costs; and authorize bonds of the state to fund the Green Bond Fund.
The Fazio bill calls for eliminating the public benefits charge paid by ratepayers, capping the price of all future long-term energy purchases, redefining the definition of Class I renewable energy sources to include nuclear and hydropower, separating PURA from DEEP (Department of Energy and Environmental Protection), eliminating subsidy programs such as electric vehicle rebates, and increasing the supply of natural gas to the state.
But the crown jewel of the plan –eliminating the public benefit charge – doesn’t look like it will be approved this session, according to Fazio.
“I think we’re moving in the right direction,” he said. “I think most Democratic legislators support keeping most of them, but we’re starting to see some Democrat legislators in Hartford support taking many of them away. It’s currently
“Some people don’t know how they can afford their prescription drugs, the rent and putting food on the table for their family because of these exorbitantly high electric bills.”
state-mandated programs and costs. Fazio and O’Dea spelled out some of those programs: subsidies for private electric generation from solar, fuel cell, wind and nuclear sources; costs for redistributive programs that lower electric rates for lower income customers; the “socializing” of payments for unpaid bills; and costs for energy efficiency programs.
“In total, they equate to more than $800 million for a year in taxes and spending through those 57 programs,” Fazio said. “If you exclude the contracts on the nuclear plants in Eastern Connecticut and the one (contract) where we buy power from a plant in New Hampshire, it only goes down to $764 million.”
He surmises the average public benefits charge for state residents to be about $677 per year. And when included with the rest of the electric bill, the average ratepayer is spending about $2,300 per year in total for electric. The rest of the bill includes supply, transmission, and local delivery charges.
— Sen. Ryan Fazio, R-Greenwich
Small businesses impact
The impact on small businesses in
the state is even worse, according to O’Dea.
“There are some small businesses that testified (on this bill) that they pay in their public benefit charge the same as their weekly employee costs, which is just crazy,” he said.
CBIA’s Chris Davis told an April 16 Finance Committee public hearing that soaring energy costs put Connecticut “at a severe disadvantage as our employers seek to compete on the regional, national, and global stage.”
“Like residents across the state, electricity costs for Connecticut’s employers continue to rise at a staggering rate, impeding economic growth and job creation,” he said.
The CBIA/Marcum 2024 Survey of Connecticut Businesses found that the issue is a top priority for employers, with many already taking steps to mitigate costs through third-party suppliers (23%), power purchase agreements (13%), and solar energy solutions (11%).
Specifically, CBIA, along with some lawmakers, wants to remove the PBC and instead fund related programs through state bonding or the general fund.

GOP blasts state education commissioner for not signing DEI letter
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
HARTFORD – State Education Commissioner Charlene Russell-Tucker last week declined to sign a letter from the U.S. Department of Education that calls for a reaffirmation of Title VI compliance under the Civil Rights Act. The Trump administration has asked all states to acknowledge that is will stop all diversity, equity and inclusion-related programs or face losing federal funding.
Russell Tucker, along with Gov. Ned Lamont, announced April 16 that the state Department of Education has responded to a recent request from the USDOE and opted not to sign the letter, citing that Connecticut “already does and will continue to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”
CSDE regularly reaffirms its compliance with all federal program assurances, through which USDOE continues to provide federal funding. Additionally,
Local Education Agencies in Connecticut certify their compliance with Title VI to CSDE in annual applications with all assurances required for federal programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, according to a press release.
“In Connecticut, we’re proud to support the incredible diversity of our schools and work tirelessly to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to a quality education and the best opportunity at the starting line in life,”
Lamont said. “From our educators, who are mentoring and inspiring the next generation of young people, to our curriculum, our commitment to education is what has made our schools nationally recognized, and we plan to continue doing what makes our students, teachers, and schools successful.”
The letter to USDOE’s Office for Civil Rights states: “Connecticut remains committed to safeguarding Con-
necticut students against the insidious effects of discrimination and continues to align its principles and programs with the requirements and purpose of Title VI, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.”
Russell-Tucker reaffirmed Lamont’s thoughts on the matter.
“We will continue to build on the collective efforts of our educators, families, and school communities to create learning environments where every student is valued and supported,” she said. “We remain focused on the work happening in our schools every day and are staunchly committed to ensuring that all our 508,402 students have access to a universe of opportunities.”
In the press release, Russell-Tucker stated that Connecticut is proud to have launched initiatives such as the Learner Engagement and Attendance Program (LEAP), which addresses chronic absenteeism and closes the opportunity gap through better engagement between students, teachers, and families. Additionally, over the last several years Connecticut

has exceeded the benchmark set by the state BOE to increase the number of educators of color by 10% and continues to incorporate policies that better reflect the diversity of the students in the classroom.
State Republican leadership, the minority party in both houses, was disappointed with Russell-Tucker’s actions.
“Earlier today (April 16), we learned that Connecticut Education Commissioner Charlene Russell-Tucker declined to sign the U.S. Department of Education’s letter certifying compliance with federal civil rights law, which now includes the rejection of discriminatory practices related to “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs,” said Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Ben Proto.
“It is thoroughly disappointing that Connecticut Democrats so blatantly refuse to comply with federal law,” he added. “This political decision to continue DEI policies not only harms the students in our schools but also risks Title 1 funding, which primarily helps support districts with higher percentages of low-income families.”
Proto added that he believes “DEI divides us by race or other aspects of our identity, and then prioritizes that identity over merit.” He said “so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs have no place in our country, let alone in our classrooms.
MESSAGE TO A VELO AIRLINES: ‘BREAK DEPORTATION FLIGHT CONTRACT WITH ICE’
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
NEW HAVEN – As a “correspondence battle” rages between Avelo Airlines top executive and the state attorney general over a contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for deportation flights, local residents near southern Connecticut’s only commercial airport are giving the low budget airline an earful.
“I want to speak about business and corporations are benefiting from the deportation machine,” Luis Luna, a member of New Haven Immigrants Coalition (NHIC), said to a crowd of more than 100 protestors outside Tweed New Haven Airport on Thursday, April 17. “Avelo just got a contract. There are so many companies that are profiting from detention.”
Luna was joined by a handful of speakers representing the coalition, which has an online petition calling for boycotting the Texas-based airline until it ends the long-term contract it has with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to fly mi-
grant deportees ordered by the Trump administration. As of April 22, the petition has drawn more than 34,000 signatures.
That protest as well others throughout the country have been precipitated by the deportation and incarceration in a prison in El Salvador of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia due to a mistake made by ICE in deporting him last month.
According to published reports, the airline will operate three Boeing 737800 aircraft out of Mesa Gateway Airport in Arizona, beginning on May 12. Avelo will be acting as a subcontractor for a larger contract with CSI Aviation, a charter medical flight provider from New Mexico. Avelo offers flight out of both Tweed and Bradley International airports in Connecticut.
On its website, Avelo advertises for flight attendant positions for Mesa, Arizona, and New Haven. The ad mentions “this opportunity is for a charter program for the Department of Homeland Security. Flights will be both domestic and international trips to support DHS’s (Department of Homeland Security’s) deportation efforts.”
Letter war
In a letter to state Attorney General William Tong dated April 15, Avelo CEO Andrew Levy said there is a “fundamental misunderstanding” of how the federal government contracts
the flights that were the subject of a letter Tong sent April 8 to the Avelo executive.
In response to Tong’s request to see a copy of the DHS contract, Levy wrote: “A copy of the relevant federal contract can be obtained from the DHS via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.” He also referred any questions about the nature of the flights to the DHS.
Anna Juarez, who is of Mexican descent and a member of NHIC, put the onus on Avelo for agreeing to the contract with DHS.
“Today's response from Avelo is totally unacceptable because it contains no response at all,” said Tong in an April 15 press release. “Their overly legalistic and technical letter is insulting and condescending to the people of Connecticut who have invested in and committed millions of dollars to Avelo's success.”
Tong pointed out the responsibility of the state to review the DHS contract since it may include the flights of innocent people being taken against their rights.
“As I said last week, the State of Connecticut has an obligation now to review this business decision and to consider the viability of our choice to support Avelo,” he added. “State and local governments have both worked to support Avelo’s expansion into
Connecticut in recent years, including granting an exemption on the aviation fuel tax and upgrading airport infrastructure.”
Many of the speakers raised the point that the airline was brought to the state through economic assistance from the state and had an obligation to recognize all residents’ rights.
“I know I’m here because Avelo gave me no other choice,” Juarez said. “And even worse it’s for the people forced to use Avelo who are dehumanized and in chains.
“Our work began the night after the election when several local leaders, activists, friends and neighbors formed an idea that became a strong and powerful alliance. We have been hosting ‘know your rights’ trainings, doing street outreach, and operating a rapid response line.”
She pointed out to the crowd positioned right across from the Avelo terminal that not a lot of “brown” people showed up to the rally because they are afraid.
New Haven values
Kica Matos, president of the National Immigration Law Center, called for Avelo to consider the values of the New Haven community that surrounds Tweed airport.
“In the four years that this airline has been here, you would have thought that its leadership would’ve taken time to learn about New Haven, our city and our values,” she said. “Public officials rolled out the red carpet. We gave them tax breaks. We even said we would support them by upgrading the airport infrastructure.”
She laid out four core values that describe New Haven residents:
“ We are a welcoming city with a rich history of welcoming refugees, so much so that we are recognized as a cutting-edge city with amazing policies that others around the nation have copied.
• We have a track record of protecting immigrants when ICE has come to town.
• Every single time that public officials have coalesced around us for immigrant rights, we have won, whether it was ID fight or the raids of 2007.
• Our activists are a bunch of stubborn bad asses. We are relentless.”
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who faced some pro-Palestinian protestors o f his own at the rally, sent a message to Levy.
“Avelo has to change its course,” the longtime senator said. “To the president of Avelo: you really stepped in it. You made a bad mistake. You made a legal mistake. You made a financial mistake. And most important you made a moral mistake.
“What we have to say to Avelo is, come clean, show us the contract. Get rid of that contract. Break that contract.”

For Jessica and Kelly Howard, growing up as young girls in Trumbull meant spending time at work with their mother Catherine, owner of Griswold Home Care of Stratford.

SPECIAL REPORT Health Care
“We had clients who were looking for 24-hour service but didn’t have the money for it.”
Catherine Howard and her mother Frances Malafronte brought the Griswold name into Connecticut in 1991 as an outgrowth of her own struggle to find quality and affordable care for her own grandfather. A hospice volunteer, Catherine decided to open a Connecticut franchise created by Jean Griswold in 1982.
Some 32 years later the two sisters took a circuitous route to owning their own Griswold franchise, which included their mother’s original Stratford office. They returned from college – Kelly went to Philadelphia University and Jessica attended Eastern Connecticut State University.
— Jessica Howard.
Then they purchased the Connecticut franchise from Leslie Mills of New Haven two years ago. And now they operate three offices: besides Stratford, two others in Bethel and Hamden serving about 100 clients with nine office workers and 130 full-
As a way of leaving their stamp on their Griswold franchise, they worked closely with the home care company’s Philadelphia corporate office. That included going high-tech by using AI to provide some aroundthe-clock coverage for clients who can’t afford live-in caregivers.
“We were trying to think outside the box,” said Jessica, 34. “We had clients who were looking for 24-hour service but didn’t have the money for it. Obviously, an AI system around the clock is not going to bathe mom. We were trying something to bridge the gap to provide the best care possible.”
About six months ago they purchased some Sensi monitors to place in clients’ homes after meeting a representative from the company at a regular Griswold meeting.
“It is an audio-based system,” Kelly said. “It captures any health or care-related sounds, keywords, or phrases. It could notify us of different things.”
She described how the AI device gets a baseline for a client so as to compare to any results it picks up when a caregiver is not present.
“We had a client who went to the bathroom once at night,” she added. “One night she went to the bathroom eight times and they (the caregivers) could tell that because they had a Sensi pod in the bathroom and it hears the flush of the toilet. It also heard her say, ‘Ouch, ouch, it’s burning.’”
The device was able to send Gris-
wold an alert to let her family know to get a urinalysis in the morning and meet with her primary physician way sooner than one would have known.
One of Griswold’s clients in Connecticut described how the Sensi device helped out her mother. “I was with her the day she fell right behind me over her chair and flattened a TV stand,” the client’s daughter said. “She just tipped over and moments afterwards I got a call from Shari who said Sensi AI had picked up that her mom may have fallen. Of course, I was right there and had helped her up making sure she was not hurt.
“But how remarkable that this AI software was able to detect that fall. If I had not been there, I could have gotten help to her because the relay from Griswold was so quick.”
Later, Sensi AI reported that the client’s mom was at risk for falling because of several things that had recently been picked up – she was unstable, dehydrated, and very tired. Griswold of Connecticut has successfully used the device to detect such maladies as UTI and Covid in their clients.
The way the system works is that it has its own router that uses any nearby cell phone network, which means it doesn’t require WiFi.
Griswold awarded the Howard sisters its Innovation Award for 2025 for bringing AI to home care in Connecticut.
“As the first in Connecticut to implement AI in non-medical home care, Jessica and Kelly are pioneering a new standard for the industry,” according to a Griswold press release.
“Through their use of Sensi AI, they’re helping caregivers detect falls, medication errors, and early signs of health concerns.”
What Griswold offers
Jessica and Kelly Howard describe
what they do in the following buckets:
Personal care – showering, changing, toileting
Homemaking – light housekeeping
Companionship – assisting with reading, watching a show, taking them to a show
Meal prep and transportation
“We provide companionship, transportation, meal preparation, anything under those umbrellas.
We both went to college and were going to go in different fields. Jessica started working in the office after returning. Before I graduated from college in Philadelphia, I worked at the corporate office there. I stayed a couple of years there doing their event planning. So, when I went back home it was a natural step for me to join. We both saw how great a company Griswold was through our mother and what she was doing for the community helping people, not just our clients but giving our caregivers a living wage.
“I really do love our clients and their families and the bond they make with their caregivers,” Kelly said. “It is absolutely amazing to help people stay where they live up until the day that they pass. We got a thank you card in the mail from a family saying how amazing our caregivers were to their dad. For me, that makes it all worth it.”
Jessica describes how important their business is to the families of their clients.
“They have never had a caregiver before,” she said. “They are typically the caretakers of their family. Now they are the ones needing care. It’s a significant turn of events for them. It’s really rewarding to find that balance of care for our clients.”

White Plains Hospital growing outpatient presence in Scarsdale
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
WHITE PLAINS – The latest in White Plains Hospital’s expansion efforts will bear fruit in July when it begins a phased-in opening of a 75,000-square-foot, multi-specialty center at the Vernon Hills Shopping Center in Scarsdale.
Through a fit-out and renovation White Plains Hospital Physician Associates will open its outpatient facility that will feature several specialty physician practices along with a full imaging center including pulmonary function testing and echocardiography testing. It will also be home to 40 physicians in a variety of specialties, including: orthopedic surgery, pain management, pediatrics, plastic surgery, internal medicine, OB/GYN, dermatology, Mohs micrographic surgery, cardiology, ENT, audiology & balance testing, neurology, urology, endocrinology, pulmonary medicine and pulmonology, allergy and immunology.
“We are incredibly proud to continue to expand and offer our expertise locally, where it is needed most,” said Frances Bordoni, the hospital’s executive vice president of ambulatory & physician services & business development. “Our new location is located just 5 miles from the hospital and fits in perfectly with our ongoing dedication to providing high-quality, team-based care for residents of Westchester County and beyond.”

33 outpatient locations throughout Westchester County and the Hudson Valley, WPHPA excels at increasing patient access to local providers, enhancing the patient-provider connection, and serving as a trusted partner throughout the region.
The outpatient facility at 750 White Plains Road in Scarsdale is expected to be fully occupied by October. It is expected to see more than 100,000 patients annually once fully occupied. Additionally, Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, a partner in the Montefiore Health System, has an outpatient practice at this location that opened this month.
This is the fourth multi-specialty ambulatory center that WPHPA has opened, along with its Center for Advanced Medicine & Surgery in White Plains, WPHPA of New Rochelle, and White Plains Hospital Medical & Wellness in Armonk – all of which have imaging capabilities at each location.
The new facility is a transformational reuse of the prominent retail space that once housed Lord & Taylor. In addition to retrofitting that space, White Plains Hospital Physician Associates proposed enhancements to two existing south and west entrances as well as the north and east entrances back. The hospital applied for modifications with the Eastchester Architectural Review Board (ARB) to their leased space at the shopping center in 2024. The project was approved by the ARB and Planning Board in September 2023.

“Our goal is to provide the best care to our community.”
— Susan Fox.
Scarsdale is part of an overall expansion plan for White Plains Hospital.
“We understand that New York City hospitals are looking to expand in our area,” Susan Fox, White Plains Hospital’s president and CEO, told the Westfair Business Journal earlier this year. “Our goal is to provide the best care to our community, and we are able to provide the full continuum of care locally so that patients do not have to travel. This expansion, combined with our outpatient network that has specialists at more than 30 locations throughout the region, supports our commitment to this community.”
At the hospital itself, construction has begun on Davis Avenue and
former parking garage site. Has begun. A 10-story, 475,000-square-foot building rise there. It will accomplish three objectives, Fox said.
It will increase the hospital’s bed capacity from 292 to 436, with the addition of 144 private beds. It will add 10 more operating rooms.
And it will more than double the size of the emergency room.
The new building – designed by Payette, a Boston architectural firm, to be realized by Manhattan-based Suffolk Construction – will cost an estimated $750 million, $500 million of which is financed, with the rest coming from philanthropy and operating expenses, Fox said.

"Without data-driven reforms, rent stabilization risks undermining both affordability and the quality of Westchester’s housing."
A Call for Meaningful Change in Westchester County's Rent Stabilization System
By Howie Ravikoff
For years, the Rent Guidelines Board process, which sets rent increases for Westchester’s 26,000 rent-stabilized apartments, has frustrated all parties—property owners, tenants, and stakeholders alike. While most agree the system is broken, interpretations of “broken” vary depending on whom you ask. It’s time for a comprehensive overhaul to realign rent stabilization with its original goal: balancing affordability for residents while ensuring that properties—especially older ones—remain safe, dignified, and viable.
Howie
Rent stabilization was designed to address an affordability emergency, preventing rent hikes based on speculation. However, this “emergency” is now nearly 50 years old, and the system has failed to evolve with economic realities. Rent increases have consistently lagged behind inflation, leading to deteriorating conditions in rent-regulated buildings. When maintenance is deferred due to insufficient rent increases, repair costs escalate, and vacancies rise as projected rents fail to justify necessary upgrades.
A core issue is the board’s composition and the political influences shaping its decisions. Currently, there are no meaningful requirements ensuring that members have expertise in housing, economics, or property
management—critical knowledge for informed decision-making. Unlike New York City’s Rent Guidelines Board, which employs dedicated analysts to study economic trends, Westchester’s board lacks sufficient data analysis. Members rely primarily on general regional data and self-reported property owner surveys, which provide little context about future economic conditions. Public participation is robust, with landlords and tenants voicing concerns annually. However, without data-driven discussions, decisions often lack economic grounding. A few key reforms could significantly improve the board’s effectiveness and prevent unintended consequences in this segment of the housing market, which, to be clear, is distinct from the “affordable housing” often associated with new development.
First, the board should be independent and staffed with qualified members. Clearer qualifications should ensure that members understand the realities of maintaining adequate housing for tenants while recognizing that rent-regulated units are private investments. Expertise is essential to making decisions that balance tenant protections with economic sustainability.
Second, despite a law requiring vacancy studies every five years, Westchester is not gathering vital data. Outside of New York City, there is no data on whether the low vacancies that prompted rent stabilization decades ago have changed. A study would provide critical insights into whether rent regulations are achieving their intended goals or exacerbating housing shortages.
Third, the state’s Division of Housing and Community Renewal (HCR) should enhance its analysis beyond past income and expenses.
Predictive modeling should inform decisions by considering labor costs, maintenance needs, and the Consumer Price Index (CPI). New York City’s board evaluates a range of “break-even” rent increases based on projected operating costs, providing a more realistic basis for discussions. Westchester should adopt a similar data-driven approach to ensure that rent increases reflect actual economic conditions.
As many property owners can attest, maintaining older buildings is expensive. When rents are frozen or raised below inflation, major repairs become unaffordable. This forces landlords to patch problems rather than fully address them, leading to worsening conditions for tenants. Additionally, long-time property owners are increasingly selling to corporate management companies that prioritize cost-cutting over long-term community investment. This shift can result in higher rents and increased tenant turnover, further destabilizing the housing market.
The Rent Guidelines Board must embrace a fact-based, pragmatic approach to rent stabilization in 2025. A properly structured board, regular vacancy studies, and comprehensive economic analysis would create a fairer system—one that ensures affordability without sacrificing building quality or economic viability. It’s time to fix the system for good.
The proposed Yonkers Executive Budget for Fiscal Year 2026 that totals $1.49 billion for the city and the public school system would raise property taxes by 2.68%. Mayor Mike Spano's office points out that the increase is within the state-mandated tax cap. They also note that the proposed budget would not cut municipal services or reduce the active workforce.
The budget includes internal instructions to limit travel, activate hiring freezes, and emphasize additional efficiency measures where possible until the economic outlook from the federal and state governments becomes clearer.
The city’s water and sewer usage rates are proposed to increase by 3.17%, which is below the approximate 4% proposed increase in water rates charged by New York City to Yonkers. Wages and fringe benefits make up approximately 83% of the city's general fund expenditures
“This year’s Executive Budget is based on the governor’s proposed budget and must take into account
the current global economic climate, such as potential cuts in federal funding, tariffs, inflation and a volatile market,” Spano said. “As such, this Executive Budget is honest and lean, and will look to offset the uncertainties left by many of these economic stressors.” The state budget still was being negotiated when the Yonkers budget was released.
In addition to covering city operations, the proposed budget includes the Yonkers Public Schools, with $298 million for the Board of Education, including $4.6 million to help pay off debt and a capital expenditure of $17 million for school construction.
Both the municipal and Board of Education spending take into consideration changes in the payroll resulting from increases in existing union contracts, reimbursable service expenses, garbage disposal costs, special education needs, water rate increases and other rising costs.
More than $10 million in Board of Education administrative costs are being shifted to the municipal budget.
"This year’s Executive Budget is honest and lean, and will look to offset the uncertainties left by many of these economic stressors."
— Mayor Mike Spano
“We are encouraged the state is considering a change in the Regional Cost Index (RCI), which will affect funding formula calculations for FY26 and beyond," Spano said. "If the state approves a change in the RCI, Yonkers Board of Education could receive
upwards of $22 million in additional annual aid. Until that happens, we continue to advocate our state leaders for fair, additional funding for our schools.”
The Yonkers City Council is required to adopt a budget by June 1 in order for it to go into effect on July 1.
Mount Vernon scammers sentenced for Covid-19 crimes
By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
The last of three Mount Vernon men who were convicted last year of stealing nearly $7.8 million in Covid-19 business disaster relief funds has been sentenced to prison.
U.S. District Court Judge Nelson S. Román sentenced Anwar Salahuddin, 39, to eight years and four months in federal prison, and his brother, Quadri, 29, to nine years and eight months in prison, on March 26. The sentences were publicly filed on April 7.
Anwar's childhood friend and Mount Vernon native Jacob Carter, 38, of Capital Heights, Maryland, was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Feb. 27.
All three were ordered to pay $7.7 million in restitution to the U.S. Small
Business Administration.
They were convicted of conspiracy, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft in a two week trial more than a year ago. Sentencings were delayed when they appealed the verdict. Judge Román rejected their arguments and they have appealed that ruling.
In 2020, the Mount Vernon friends orchestrated a scheme to steal Economic Injury Disaster Loans that were meant to support small businesses in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.
They persuaded people to let them use their personal information on more than a thousand business loan applications and then to kick back a portion of the approved funds, according to court
records. In five months, they applied for more than $10 million in loans and the SBA advanced about $7.9 million. Prosecutors depicted the criminal conduct as "simple greed, not need." Their sentencing memo to the judge quotes a message that Anwar Salahuddin sent to a friend:
"The government is corny. ... They give MILLIONS of dollars to foreign countries for BS programs THEN wanna get mad at n-----s for scamming for loans. ... I hope people scam every dollar they can and get away [with] it too."
The SBA has identified more than $200 billion in potentially fraudulent Economic Injury Disaster Loans, according to the prosecutors' sentencing memo, and the program eventually ran out of money while legitimate businesses were waiting for approvals.

Clean Energy Leaders Gather to Chart County’s Green Energy Goals
Prominent clean energy leaders from Westchester County and across New York State gathered March 24th at the Clean Energy Action Conference, hosted by the Business Council of Westchester (BCW) and the Clean Energy Action Coalition (CEAC).
The half-day event at the Crotonville Conference Center in Ossining provided a platform for crucial discussions on how the region will contribute to and achieve New York’s ambitious clean energy targets.
The conference featured a keynote address by Doreen M. Harris, President and CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Harris offered valuable insights into the state’s aggressive clean energy roadmap, commending the BCW and CEAC for organizing practical dialogues focused on the tangible steps required to meet New York’s production goals.
“Your organization has taken this to a new level, and I want you to know this is a beacon for our state and something that we very much need to replicate county by county across our state,” said Harris. “It is really evident from this coalition and the very specific actions that are being taken here that you are taking (state green energy) goals and putting them into practice and that is very much what we need to be seeing across our state.”
clean energy technologies.
In his welcoming remarks, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins stressed the importance of helping society embrace emerging clean energy technologies and he praised the coalition for organizing the sold-out conference that attracted more than 150 attendees. “By powering change together, it’s going to continue to move Westchester forward,” said Jenkins, referring to the event’s slogan.
The conference served as a vital step in the inaugural year of the CEAC, which is dedicated to reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy affordability in the region. The discussions were built upon the coalition’s 2025 goals, focusing on key areas such as solar and battery storage, biofuels, green construction, and transmission improvements. With the active involvement of over 100 Westchester leaders, the CEAC is actively driving legislative frameworks and collaborative initiatives to accelerate the deployment of clean energy infrastructure.

Harris underscored New York’s leadership in clean energy, specifically citing the state’s significant achievements in solar power. She noted that New York surpassed its distributed solar production goal a year ahead of schedule, with Westchester County playing a pivotal role in this success.
“This county is a very important reason why that was possible. We are the number one community solar market in the nation for two years running. We continue to advance distributed solar projects across our state at a pace that is truly extraordinary. In fact, last year was the largest number of installations, well over a gigawatt of solar was installed in our state,” Harris added.
A gigawatt of solar power is the equivalent of half the power produced by the decommissioned Indian Point Energy Center.
Beyond the keynote address, the conference program offered a comprehensive exploration of critical clean energy topics. Presentations covered the development of a robust clean-energy workforce, strategies for enhancing electricity transmission, diverse energy production sources, successful local clean energy project case studies, the advancement of affordable green housing, sustainable public school building initiatives, the potential of biofuels, corporate campus energy efficiencies, and an in-depth analysis of local laws and regulations governing
The Clean Energy Action Conference underscored the Business Council of Westchester’s ongoing commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation, further solidifying Westchester County’s position as a leader in sustainability and a key contributor to New York State’s green energy future.
Speakers included: Ron Kamen, EarthKind Consulting and Director of the CEAC; Jim Dolan, OLA Consulting Engineers; Angela Son, The Green Launchpad; Antuan Cannon, Willdan Energy Solutions; Girish Behal, NY Power Authority; Raghusimha Sudhakara, Con Edison; Christina Armentano, Paraco; John Constable, Industrial Innovations & Solutions; Devon Nagel, MESN Consulting; George Ford, Solect Energy; Rob Feuer, Geothermal Works; Wilson Kimball and Kara Magoolaghan, MHACY; Dan Singer, Robison; Jane Anne Cavallaro, Renu Energy Solutions; Frank Stefanelli, White Plains Schools; Steve Dodge, Clean Fuels Alliance; Mike Corso, Roovio Solar; George Poth, Regeneron; Robert Withers, M1 Capital Corp; Frank Owens, Thompson Partners; Maria Fields, Sprocket Power, Tony Gioffre, Cuddy & Feder; Leo Wiegman, Sustainable Westchester; Michael Murphy, Murphy Brothers Contracting; Thom Kleiner, Westchester Putnam Workforce Development Board, and Peter Herrero, NY Hospitality Group.

Amid federal funding cuts, ArtsWestchester celebrates the arts at awards lunch
By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com
“For the next hour and a half, just enjoy the moment,” emcee Tony Aiello urged the 325 guests at ArtsWestchester’s “Arts Award Luncheon 2025,” held Wednesday, April 9, at the White Plains Sonesta Downtown. “Don’t look at your phone…your 401k,” added Aiello, a reporter with CBS-New York, to knowing laughter.
He was referring, of course, to the Trump Administration tariffs, now on a 90-day pause, that have shattered global markets, sending everything from small businesses to Wall Street billionaires reeling.
But the one thing that could not be forgotten as ArtsWestchester lauded some big local anniversaries, including its own 60th birthday, was the challenge of funding nonprofits, including the arts, amid not only stock market turmoil but federal cuts.
Indeed, two days before the luncheon, ArtsWestchester CEO Kathleen Reckling sent out an urgent email to local arts supporters that read in part:
“What is happening now on the federal level is a new challenge and test of our resiliency. With drastic cuts to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and further executive orders that limit the possibilities of free artistic expression and attempt to narrow the vision of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the arts need you right here with us….
“Due to the federal cuts, ArtsWestchester lost the balance of funding for four projects currently underway. Those projects had to be paused. Many of our affiliate arts and cultural organizations in Westchester County also lost promised funding, without warning. The artists who have been working hard on their projects and were looking forward to presenting them to our community are left in a state of uncertainty.”
The week of Monday, April 7, White Plains-based ArtsWestchester, the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers and the Greater Hudson Heritage Network in Elmsford received notices from the all-but-eliminated Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), advising them that their federal grants “no longer serve the interests of the United States.”
ArtsWestchester is losing about $60,000 for its Westchester Heritage Ambassador program, which supports a community-driven initiative designed for and by emerging leaders from three Westchester cultural communitiesEcuadorian, Paraguayan and Ghanaian.
The Hudson River Museum is losing about $55,000 for a photograph-scanning project to share digitally 6,000 to 8,000 images in its collection that have never been seen by the public. A spokesman said the images are of local, regional and national importance and shed light on historically under-told stories.
The Greater Hudson Heritage Network, which had just begun working with 10 small and mid-size museums in New York state to conserve objects from their collections, is expected. to lose $269,000.
At the "Arts Award Luncheon," Reckling alluded to the grant terminations: “I don’t need to tell you this is a challenging time for us. We are living with the cuts every day. We brought everyone together today so we can face this moment as creatives.”
In facing the moment, award presenters, recipients and other speakers reminded attendees that “when the arts thrive, communities thrive,” in the words of Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins, who was among the local, county and New York state leaders at the event.
“For me, the arts make bridges that connect us,” said Peruvian-born Flor Bromley, the Latin Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter, whose bilingual songs have been featured on Sirius XM’s “Kids Place Live” and WNET-Thirteen’s “Let’s Learn.”
Bromley received the Advancing Equity Award, as did White Plainsbased Ballet des Ameriques, whose series include “An Evening of Dance in Westchester,” “Nutcracker Dream” at the Emelin Theatre in Mamaroneck and “eMele-K” at Teatro LATEA in Manhattan, honoring Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. In accepting Ballet des Ameriques’ award, its Creole founder, director and choreographer, Carole Alexis ,said that “segregation is self-destruction” and that we are here not meant for despair and fear but “to create joy and hope.”
And to connect the past to the
“With drastic cuts to the NEH and IMLS, and further executive orders that limit the possibilities of free artistic expression... the arts need you right here with us.”
present and future. Receiving the Milestone Award on behalf of the Tarrytown Music Hall, which opened in 1885, executive director Björn Olsson spoke of “echoes” through the years – everyone from President Woodrow Wilson to rockers Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi to the students who file in for arts programming today.
The other Milestone Award recipient -- Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, home to a Mediterranean-style house museum and an international summer music festival, among other programs – turns 80 this year. It was among the birthdays noted at the Arts Award Luncheon, including that of 10-year-old Bethany Arts Community (winner of the Sophia Abeles Arts Education Award), whose 25-acre site in Ossining offers art in every discipline to participants of every age and ability.
Magazine who covers the arts (and received the Impact Award), and donors like Paul and Barbara Elliot, Rye residents who have been active on the boards of The Rye Arts Center and the Rye Historical Society, as well as the boards of ArtsWestchester (she) and the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center in White Plains (he).
— Kathleen Reckling, CEO, ArtsWestchester
Perhaps a Bethany student may one day become a photographer like Kwame Anyane-Yeboa or Russian-born Anna Sirota, recipients of the Larry Salley Award; or a multiple Grammy Award-winning acoustic and electric bassist like Artist Award winner John Patitucci, who described himself as “just a kid from East Flatbush in Brooklyn,” albeit one who worked with Dizzy Gillespie and Paul Simon, among others. Patitucci, who performs all kinds of music, then played some jazz, which he said was “one of the most important things America has to offer.”
With funding stretched tight, arts organizations are going to have to rely more than ever on people like Paul Adler, an editor at Westchester
The Elliots, recipients of the Patron(s) Award, were among the sponsors of the luncheon, which included presenting sponsors NewYork-Presbyterian and the Jacob Burns Foundation Inc.; Westchester Magazine; M & T Bank, Lucille Werlinich and Westchester Medical Center; Tarrytown Music Hall; CClean, Children’s Village, Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts, Historic Hudson Valley, Iona University, Katonah Museum, Marx Realty/Cross County Center, Barbara Monohan, Leah Sills, White Plains Hospital and ArtsWestchester CEO Emerita Janet Langsam, whose paintings are on view at the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase through June 29.
The last award of the afternoon was a special surprise for Ann Fabrizio, ArtsWestchester’s former deputy director of development and communications, honoring her almost 30 years of service.
While Fabrizio has retired, ArtsWestchester is looking to its next 60 years. In her email letter, Reckling spoke of how Westchester’s arts community adapted to the pandemic:
“Westchester’s arts community has always shown resilience, and we will show it again.”

Westfair wellness columnist retires from the wrestling ring
By Giovanni Roselli
“To retire there, in front of family, friends and fans who have supported me throughout my career, feels like the perfect storybook ending.”
— Giovanni Roselli
As I prepare for my retirement match on Saturday, May 10, at Westchester County Center in White Plains, I can’t help but reflect on the journey that has brought me to this special moment in my career. For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of stepping into the squared circle, entertaining fans and living out a dream that began as a child growing up in White Plains. The County Center has always been more than just a venue to me; it was the birthplace of my passion for professional wrestling and, now, it’s where I will close the book on my wrestling career.
I’ve traveled the world, getting the opportunity to perform in legendary venues like Madison Square Garden, all the way to Palermo, Italy, where I had the honor of winning and defending the Italian World Heavy-
weight Championship. I’ve even appeared alongside Academy Award-nominated actor Mickey Rourke in the film “The Wrestler.”
Along the way, I’ve met incredible people, faced the toughest opponents and learned valuable lessons that have shaped who I am today, not only as a wrestler but as a trainer, wellness coach and person.
A SPECIAL PLACE
However, no matter where my travels took me, County Center always remained a touchstone. Growing up, I attended countless wrestling shows, concerts and baseball card events at the venue. It was there that I first dreamed of being a performer in the ring. That building holds the memories of my childhood, the echoes of every match I watched from the stands and the dreams of
a young boy who knew one day he would be part of the action. It's ironic that despite getting the opportunity to wrestle all over the world, I’ve never had a chance to perform at County Center. To retire there, in front of family, freinds and fans who have supported me throughout my career, feels like the perfect storybook ending.
FOR MY DAUGHTER
This match is especially meaningful, because it will be the first and only time my 7-year-old daughter will see me perform live in the ring. As a father, there’s nothing more fulfilling than having her in the crowd, witnessing the culmination of all I’ve worked for. Sharing this moment with her is a dream come true. It’s a full-circle story – starting as a child watching wrestling at County Center, becoming a professional wrestler and now, performing in the same building with my daughter sitting in the same seat I once occupied.
HARD WORK
The road to this point was far from easy. There were plenty of naysayers along the way who told me I couldn’t do it. They said it was unrealistic and that I should focus on something more practical. But I believed in myself. I worked tirelessly and pushed through every obstacle (and injury) that came my way. From my early days of training to wrestling in small venues across the country to performing in front of thousands, I proved that with determination, anything is possible.
So, on Saturday, May 10, I invite you to join me for a night of wrestling at County Center. It’s going to be a night to remember, that I can promise you.

HARTFORD
– An independent real estate advisor and consultant from Newtown waived his right to be indicted and pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Alvin W. Thompson in Hartford April 18 to an offense related to his theft of nearly $3 million to fund his day-trading activity, according to Marc H. Silverman, acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Anish Shukla, acting special agent in charge of the New Haven Division of the FBI.
Timothy Mingione, 33, pleaded guilty to one count of interstate transmission of stolen money, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years. Judge Thompson scheduled sentencing for July 15. Also, Mingione has agreed to pay restitution of $2,958,203.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Mingione assisted investors in the purchase of real estate and then became the

designated asset manager for the acquired properties, including overseeing the properties, addressing tenancy issues associated with the real estate, and reviewing property financials.
In this role, Mingione had access to bank accounts required for property management. He provided purchase and asset manager services for a New Yorkbased real estate company, worked with a syndicate of investors involved in the purchase and management of five real estate properties in Connecticut and Florida, and worked as an asset manager for various other limited liability companies.
Beginning in April 2023, to fund his day-trading activity – particularly in S&P 500 options – Mingione stole from the various business bank accounts he had access to by writing checks against the accounts or by wiring monies from the accounts to his personal trading account with TD Ameritrade.
Timothy Mingione
He tracked the monies he stole and, at times, returned funds to the accounts he had stolen from. However, by late spring 2024, he had amassed more than $1 million in
trading losses and, by the end of September 2024, had stolen nearly $3 million.
Mingione is released on a $40,000 bond pending sentencing.
“By the end of September 2024, [Mingione] had stolen nearly $3 million.”

HomeServe finds larger HQ in Norwalk
By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
“Our new office space represents an exciting chapter for HomeServe as we continue to grow and innovate.”
NORWALK – HomeServe has moved its North American corporate headquarters within the city to The Towers at 45 Glover Ave. from the Merritt 7 Complex.
The leading provider of repair solutions to homeowners across the U.S and Canada calls the move a “milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to the State of Connecticut and the local community that has played a vital role in our success over the years.”
The 66,000-square-foot Glover Avenue location will allow the company to expand its workforce to about 300 workers.
— Tom Rusin, CEO, HomeServe North America
"Our new office space represents an exciting chapter for HomeServe as we continue to grow and innovate," said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe North America. "This space was
designed with collaboration and creativity in mind, providing our team with a vibrant environment to connect, problem-solve, and serve our customers better than ever."
In late 2013 HomeServe received state economic development assistance to expand and move its North American headquarters to the Merritt 7 Complex in Norwalk from Stamford, with a commitment to expand the number of employees by 130 over the next five years.
The new space offers the opportunity to grow even further, with room for about 300 workstations, according to a company press release. It fosters collaboration, creativity, and teamwork with features like a connected two-floor layout, expansive gathering areas, plenty of natural light and other building amenities for the employees.
