The complaint alleges that the owner of 1008 Lincoln Avenue, Mr. Ritter, negligently hired Kaligraphy to demolish the building which Kaligraphy was not qualified to handle. The complaint further alleges that Kaligraphy not only damaged the water pipe at 1008 Lincoln Avenue, but also let the water flow into and damage Rosebud Fashions while failing to contact both Rosebud Fashions and the proper authorities to stop the damage, all while not having the proper licenses, permits, and insurance for the demolition. The complaint seeks relief in excess of $200,000.00.
