ST. LOUIS – A commercial property owner is seeking a restraining order regarding the demolition of its property.
Convey Management LLC filed a complaint March 26 in the St. Louis Circuit Court against Jimmy Edwards, director of public safety for the city of St. Louis, seeking a restraining order.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff owns commercial real property in St. Louis on Martin Luther King Boulevard. The suit states on March 24, plaintiff's property suffered damage from rain storms, causing a portion of front wall to fall into the street. As a result, the suit states the defendant initiated and executed emergency demolition.
The plaintiff alleges it did not receive notice regarding the demolition and that the demolishers hired by the defendant "confiscated many thousand dollars' worth of metal pipes and wiring from the debris of the property."
The plaintiff seeks a temporary restraining order to prevent defendant's agent from taking and disposing the said materials already taken from plaintiff's property and any further relief as the court may deem just and proper. It is represented by Daniel Zdrodowski of The Gartner Law Firm in St. Peters.
