NEW ORLEANS – A downtown New Orleans Gravier Street hotel claims a waterproofing company performed substandard work.

Windsor Court Hotel Partners, LLC filed a lawsuit against Apex Waterproof of Louisiana LLC in the Orleans Parish Central District Court on Dec. 4.

Counsel for the plaintiff is Martha Y. Curtis of Sher Garner Cahill Richter Klein & Hilbert, LLC.

This case has been assigned to Division N Judge Ethel S. Julien.
