PITTSBURGH – An East Pittsburgh man is suing the owner and operator of his apartment over allegations it failed to maintain the fire escape.

Dominic C. Pennick filed a complaint on April 23 in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas against Donda Development Inc. alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges on May 17, 2018, he was attempting to use the fire escape at the back of the apartment building to retrieve his neighbor’s garbage and he fell through the rusty escape and was injured.

The plaintiff alleges his fall was a result of the defendant’s failure to properly maintain the fire escape. 

The plaintiff is seeking all reasonable sums due and court costs. The plaintiff is represented by Wayne M. Chiurazzi of The Chiurazzi Law Group.
