Vega v. City of Hammond, et al

Claim:

Vega is a landlord who operates a two unit rental building in Hammond which was permitted and zoned only as a single family dwelling. The building also was unsafe for lack of proper fire separation. After an inspection and hearings took place, City of Hammond and its Board of Public Works and Safety entered an order to remove the second unit and repair/demolish for these reasons. Vega sought judicial review of this enforcement order from the Lake Superior Court. In a bench trial, Eichhorn & Eichhorn, LLP obtained judgment on the evidence for City of Hammond and its Board of Public Works and Safety.

Outcome:

Judgment on the evidence for Defendants.
