About CT Condo News
CT Condo News began as a Connecticut-focused resource for condominium owners. Today, it covers condo and HOA issues across the United States, with a continued focus on Connecticut and state-level owner rights.
CT Condo News started with Connecticut condo owners β and now follows the broader American condo and HOA landscape. We report on owner rights, board governance, association fees, property managers, repairs, insurance, lawsuits, legislation and practical guidance for homeowners.
Our history
In 2012, CT Condo News grew from the public work around Connecticut condo owners, consumer reporting and the Connecticut Condo Owners Coalition. The early project connected news reporting with owner education, investigations, association transparency and legislative attention to common-interest communities.
The public launch was associated with George P. Gombossy, CT Watchdog and the Connecticut Condo Owners Coalition. Brian Harte helped organize the coalition side of the work, with Judith Rudikoff, Sandra Martinik and Gail Egan connected to the coalitionβs early leadership and owner-support work. Gary Choronzy and ConnecticutWebsites.com were credited in the early site build.
Those roots matter because condominium conflicts rarely start as abstract legal debates. They start with a repair request, an assessment notice, an insurance denial, a closed board meeting or a property manager who will not answer basic questions. Our editorial work keeps that owner perspective at the center.
How the focus expanded
Connecticut remains part of our identity, but condo and HOA issues are national. Florida building safety rules, California balcony inspections, New York condominium governance, Texas HOA statutes, Illinois election disputes and insurance pressure across coastal states all affect the same kind of homeowner decisions.
Our 2026 return keeps the same subject line and makes the structure clearer: national reporting, state-by-state law tracking, Connecticut coverage, explainers, buyer checklists, board governance guides, dispute coverage and practical templates for owners.
People and editorial lineage
Our archive and early public footprint include George P. Gombossy, Brian Harte, Judith Rudikoff, Sandra Martinik, Gail Egan and Gary Choronzy. We preserve those names because they explain why the site was built around owners, not brokers, listings or generic housing coverage.
Current editorial work is organized around documented reporting, careful source review and clear separation between news, analysis, opinion, explainers, guides and policy tracking. We write for owners, buyers, residents, board members and professionals who need accurate context before they make decisions.
What we cover
Our core beats include owner records, meetings, elections, assessments, reserve studies, insurance, property management, maintenance duties, litigation, construction defects, building safety, fair housing and state condominium statutes.
We also cover the daily realities of condo living: noise, parking, pets, short-term rentals, guest rules, amenities, board communication, management contracts and the financial pressure created by aging buildings and higher insurance costs.
Editorial standards
We use statutes, court filings, public records, association documents, interviews, official notices and documented reader submissions. When a topic is legal, financial or technical, we explain the limits of each source and distinguish verified facts from analysis or practical guidance.
