A Glendale couple's dream of a custom build has landed in court, with a lawsuit claiming their $1.5 million project at 199 Cornelia Ave was left unfinished and has now cost them more than $3.3 million. The dispute centers on the custom homebuilder they hired in 2022 and has also drawn the attention of city officials after neighbors complained about the property.
According to St. Louis Business Journal, the couple hired the builder in March 2022 and are seeking $3,375,000 in damages, naming Period Restoration LLC as the defendant. The outlet reports the plaintiffs say what they have spent to finish the house and cover other losses exceeds what they paid for the home.
Per the City of Glendale Plan Commission meeting packet, the house at 199 Cornelia was the subject of nuisance hearings after neighbors complained to the city. The packet states, "Since that date, both properties have been brought into compliance."
