PITTSBURGH – A Pittsburgh natural gas company avers that it was not negligent and did not fail to turn off the gas supply to a Penn Hills building, which a lawsuit brought against it charges exacerbated the effect of a structure fire which took place at the property.
The Travelers Indemnity Company of America and Travelers Casualty Insurance Company of America of Hartford, Conn., Churchill Center, LLC of Pittsburgh and Big Shot Bob’s Penn Hills, LLC of Penn Hills first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Feb. 16 versus Peoples Natural Gas Company, LLC and Peoples Gas Company, LLC, both of Pittsburgh.
PITTSBURGH - Peoples Natural Gas Company LLC was sued by the owners of a Verona dry cleaning service after a natural gas leak destroyed the shopping center the business was in.
According to documents filed in March in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, plaintiffs Lee and Michelle Levine own Cefola Dry Cleaners LLC, a generational business that had been in the Church Hill Shopping Center since it was founded shortly after WWII.
The lawsuit says that the defendant, which provided natural gas to the center and was responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all applicable pipes, valves and other gas equipment, ignored repeated concerns voiced about a natural gas odor in the center.
