Kettering Tower Partners and Neyer Mangement

A lawsuit has been filed and is seeking class action status on behalf of Kettering Tower tenants affected by the October 26, 2006 fire. The lawsuit was filed in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court and alleges that the fire forced numerous businesses to cease operations for a substantial period of time, which resulted in numerous losses, including the use of their office space, loss of business, customers and profit, loss of business information, office equipment and supplies, and the ability to perform ordinary business functions. Eighty-five businesses were affected and more than 800 people work in the 30-story tower. The suit also claims the businesses suffered annoyance and discomfort during and after the evacuation and closure of Kettering Tower.
