ROCKY HILL, CT (WFSB) - Connecticut’s attorney general announced an investigation into the group that owns an apartment complex in Rocky Hill.

ROCKY HILL, Conn. (WTNH) — Hundreds of people were told they must find a new place to stay by midnight after the Town of Rocky Hill condemned five large apartment buildings due to problems with their heat, water and fire suppression systems.
