Condo Owners In Battery Park City Suing For Green
The Wall Street Journal reported today about condo owners suing The Riverhouse One Rockefeller Park for $1.5 million in damages:
The suit by the Riverhouse tenants alleges various shortcomings.
It says the owners' engineers "found a deviation of 49%" over the LEED standards "in the cumulative size of holes and cracks allowing infiltration of cold air."
The complaint also alleges that air temperature for heating the apartment was too low, which the owners say is a sign that the building isn't maximizing energy efficiency.
