The plaintiff elevator maintenance company registered ten construction liens against five apartment buildings owned by the defendants for unpaid maintenance and repair services totaling $122,810.30.
The defendants claimed a set-off of $75,000, alleging the plaintiff failed to properly maintain the elevators, necessitating upgrades by a new contractor.
The court found the plaintiff proved its accounts and the defendants failed to prove any breach of contract by the plaintiff.
The court upheld the liens, including those for advance payments, and dismissed the defendants' set-off claim.
The court also dismissed a mid-trial recusal motion brought by the defendants.
