Bruen Deldin DiDio Associates has agreed to pay the city of Hartford $350,000 after leaders accused the company of issuing a fake certificate of coverage for the project.
|Bogus certificate
Hartford sued the firm, its vice president Jeffrey Deldin, and former vice president Scott Hainey last year following a stagnant effort to revamp the aging Dillon Stadium in Colt Park. Officials alleged the firm and its employees allegedly created a bogus certificate indicating the stadium project — along with the city — was insured when no policy had been issued.
A valid insurance policy would have allowed Hartford to recover more than $700,000 misspent by the developers, according to city leaders. The document listed Hainey as the "producer" of the certificate and Deldin signed the document as an authorized representative of the firm.

Premier Sports Management Group submitted a certificate of liability insurance from Bruen Deldin DiDio indicating that the Providence Mutual Fire Insurance Co. had provided millions of dollars in liability insurance to Premier Sports, with the city listed as an additional insured.
