Ester LeClair, 44, is wanted for issuing bad checks, assault, larceny, and failure to appear, according to a profile of the Brazilian native on the program’s latest edition.
Westport building officials said all her projects had problems with construction practices and techniques, including an office building at 21 Charles St., in the Saugatuck area.
She operated a Westport business under the name of Ester LeClair Interior Design and Construction LLC.
According to the television program, LeClair allegedly bilked a Fairfield area woman suffering from cancer out of more than $100,000 with promises to renovate her home and then failing to do the work.
Westport officials said LeClair at one time had an office over 599 Riverside Ave., but the fire marshal found building violations there and ordered her to close down.
According to the television program, LeClair was last known to live in New York City where she was evicted from her Manhattan apartment.
