A Gucci-loving Brooklyn bishop, who was robbed of $1 million worth of jewelry in a caught-on-video heist, is a slum landlord evicting several low-income tenants from properties he owns in Connecticut, according to tenants and public records.
Lamor Whitehead, 44, a convicted felon who has described Mayor Eric Adams as a close friend and supporter, is trying to kick out 11 tenants for their failure to pay rent at the four buildings owned by his company Whitehead Estates LLC in Hartford, court records show.
One tenant, who has lived at one of the buildings since 2019, is among those being evicted. He told The Post Wednesday that he has not paid his $875 in monthly rent for his two-bedroom apartment for the last four months to protest deteriorating conditions in the building where he said there is no fire escape, the emergency doors are bolted shut and his apartment has multiple leaks, roaches and mice. Yet as soon as Whitehead took over the properties last year, the bishop announced he wanted to increase his rent to $1,400 per month, the tenant said.
A lawyer for Whitehead told The Post Wednesday that the increases reflect “general market rent” in the area, and that the fire escape is now up to code.
