'The risk of glass panes falling from the Property’s balconies presented an immediate and substantial safety risk to balcony occupants, pedestrians, and property below,' according to the lawsuit.
Real estate investment trust Equity Residential, which purchased the 274-unit Eviva on Cherokee Apartments building in early 2019, filed the lawsuit over the alleged “negligently constructed balcony railing systems” against four parties: real estate developer The Integral Group LLC, commercial construction and architecture company The Beck Group, railing manufacturer and supplier GRECO and fence contractor Metro Fence Company.
Now, Equity Residential wants a reimbursement of the almost $600,000 it spent “to remedy the poorly constructed balcony railing systems,” on top of interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. In February 2022, a glass pane from the fifth-floor balcony tumbled to the street below. Another from the 19th-floor broke months later in July, then a third pane from the 11th-floor fell later that month, the lawsuit said.Matt Watkajtys, a tenant at Eviva on Cherokee, celebrated the news of the lawsuit as a win for residents.
