CLEARWATER — A Pennsylvania couple is suing a Belleair Bluffs condominium
manager and unit owners, alleging negligence.
David Young and Linda Young of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, filed a
complaint Nov. 27 in Pinellas County Circuit Court against Port Belleair No.
2 Inc., Harvey F. Clarizio and Donna J. Clarizio,, alleging failure to
maintain and repair the damaged portion of the condominium's common
elements.
The suit says in May 2017, the Youngs notified the condo association of a
water leak in the apartment directly above their property at Unit 210, 147
Bluff View Drive, Belleair Bluffs. The lawsuit alleges the property is owned
by the Clarizios.
According to the complaint, on Sept. 16, 2017, in the aftermath of Hurricane
Irma, the Youngs discovered substantial damage to their property due to the
serious unresolved plumbing issues with the Clarizios' unit 310, directly
above the plaintiffs' unit.
The suit alleges the Youngs suffered remediation, repair, and/or replacement
costs and loss of use of their property. The plaintiffs allege the
defendants failed to act reasonably to prevent property damage caused by the
leakage.
The Young seek trial by jury, damages of more than $15,000, exclusive of
interest, court costs and attorney fees. They are represented by attorney
William S. Chambers IV of Campbell Trohn Tamayo & Aranda PA in Lakeland.
