Des Moines Water Works officials have filed $53,000 in liens against properties owned by landlord Mark Critelli as part of a larger effort to recover almost $100,000 in unpaid water bills. Reports came out recently that revealed Critelli may be delinquent on taxes, liens, and unpaid fees and fines tied to his properties. That's when the utility company began trying to collect too. Critelli owns about 60 rental properties in Des Moines and has reportedly violated city code when it comes to bugs, rodents, broken windows, and missing fire extinguishers. Critelli has told city officials he's working with investors and a new property management firm to fix the issues. The utility company will not disconnect the water, because they don't want to punish tenants for the landlord's issues.
