Homeowner Sues After Finding New Home Soaked In Urine

Workers Accused Of Urinating Inside House

UPDATED: 2:44 pm EST March 31, 2005

Homeowners shelled out thousands of dollars for a new house only to find parts of the home soaked in urine by construction workers, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported.

Bradley and Maggie Parker thought they had their dream house, but what they discovered was a nightmare.

The Parkers had Ryan Homes build their house. But while visiting, they found pools of urine on the floor, seeping under walls. They said the urine was left by construction workers who didn't want to walk to the nearest portable toilet about a quarter mile away.

"It was throughout a lot of areas in the home," said Bradley Parker.

After finding the urine, the Parkers didn't want to move in, so they asked for their $5,000 deposit back.

They said Ryan Homes refused, so they hired the Martin and Bailey law firm and filed suit.

"It was so shocking at first," Maggie Parker said. "Then it was an overwhelming feeling of disgust."

Ryan Homes sold the home to a woman who just learned of the claims of urine pools, the station reported.

She said Ryan Homes didn't tell her anything about the lawsuit.

Ryan MacCauley, of Ryan Homes, issued a statement Wednesday.

"We believe all statements of fact in the complaint are untrue."

After the first complaint, the company placed a portable toilet directly across the street and the Parkers said they were told at least one person responsible was fired.

Still, their deposit was not returned and the Parkers said the only place they'll be able to get relief is in the courtroom.
