World War II vet, 95, fears foreclosure after losing lawsuit filed by his Florida condo association
Louis Gomez says his upstairs neighbor caused the water leak that sparked the lawsuit by his condo association.
His neighbor denies causing the leak, and the Palm Greens Condo 1 Association in West Delray says it sued the 95-year-old World War II veteran and recent cancer survivor because he refused multiple requests to allow workers to enter his 978-square-foot condo unit, built in 1974, to deal with mold caused by the leak.
After the association won the lawsuit and dispatched a repair crew to rip moldy walls and bathroom fixtures out of Gomez’s unit, it sent him a bill for nearly $18,000 for legal fees and repairs.
Gomez, who lives alone with no family and few friends, refuses to pay. He says “the big shots” are trying to take his home from him.
He said, “They said they tried to send letters to go to the court and all that. I said, ‘Look, I didn’t receive anything and I’m not going to any courts. I didn’t do anything wrong. OK? You people are all against me.’”
It’s a story that could be replicated more and more in coming years as condo unit owners and their buildings grow older together in South Florida.
