Findings №2 · Published April 2026 · Withdrawn October 15, 2026

This article has been withdrawn.

Findings №2 said that a group of limited liability partnerships (LLPs) holding New Haven property were registered in other states and could not be traced through Connecticut's business records. That was wrong.

§1What was wrong

The partnerships are registered in Connecticut.

The article said the LLPs it named were filed in other states, that the Connecticut Secretary of the State's business search overlooks them, and that none surfaced through that search. Connecticut's business registry shows otherwise. Every partnership the article named that we found in the registry is a domestic Connecticut LLP with a Connecticut address on file. The article also described the choice of these partnership names as deliberate, which the records do not support.

§2Where the gap actually was

In Elm City Explorer's own data collection.

Until June 2026, the site's scraper did not search for owner names ending in "LLP", so most of these partnerships were missing from the dataset. That has been fixed, and 10 of the 11 partnerships found in the registry now appear on the map. Because the article's central claim was incorrect, it has been withdrawn rather than revised.
