Kenneth Tulle, et al v. Connecticut Container Corporation: A group of five homeowners from North Haven who were subjected to years of "a constant and annoying noise" from a nearby cardboard box factory have been awarded $300,000 for the private nuisance following a bench trial.
The homeowners, Kenneth Tullo, Douglas Amore, Joseph Vichinanza, Yu-Fong Yen and Mark Grey, all lived in a residential neighborhood near Hartford Turnpike, in close proximity to the Connecticut Container Corp. plant on Sackett Point Road. For about two years prior to filing a lawsuit, the homeowners repeatedly met with town officials to try and stop what was described as "a distinct and pulsating hum" that coming from the factory at all hours of the day and night.
