Crane collapse fallout: Tenant sues damaged building owner

A Tampa-based law firm has sued the owner of a downtown St. Petersburg building that bears its name, nearly four months after a storm-toppled construction crane rendered it uninhabitable.

Johnson Pope Bokor Ruppel & Burns LLP filed the civil lawsuit Jan. 31 against 490 St. Pete LLC, an entity affiliated with Dallas-based Lincoln Property Company. The law firm seeks to terminate its lease and receive declaratory financial relief from the court.
