Hello,
I am slated for trial 7.15.15 in a holdover proceeding for an unauthorized alteration. The board is claiming that I commenced an alteration after removing the studs of a verified non-load bearing wall that they gave me permission to remove the sheetrock from. We had a summary judgement which both myself and the board were denied. The judge denied my claim to receive compensation for deprivation of enjoyment of premises as in the answer my lawyer (at the time) failed to state any causative action. Can anyone tell me exactly what this means? And how do I rectify this to receive some compensation? I have been living in hell for 2 years (wires, peeling paint, gaps in floor & ceiling, etc.)! Can I bring this up in trial? If so how is it done? Is it too late to state a cause of action?
Thanks.
