We realize we have not shared much. That is a consequence of recovering from shuttering our brick and mortar location due to the hazardous lead contamination discovered at 5090 Delmar Blvd and, secondly, due to being affected by the May 16th tornado. Thus, thank you for your understanding for our minimal communication as we continue to rebuild a path forward.
Given we were recently back in the news, we did feel it was important to share that WE ARE NOT FINISHED FIGHTING.
During this case, we uncovered evidence that the Brew Tulum location previously housed Gunther Electronics, a company registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for electronic waste management and remediation. Electronic waste operations commonly produce hazardous byproducts, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic.
We also obtained documentation showing that the EPA was involved in remediation at the property. Notably, remediation to EPA standards was eventually completed for a new tenant—work the landlord declined to perform during our tenancy.
Despite this and other evidence we gathered, THE COURT NEVER REVIEWED THE MATERIALS. Our response to the defendants’ motion for summary judgment was deemed procedurally improper, and Judge Noble declined to “sift” through the evidence before granting summary judgment.
In other words, THE EVIDENCE WAS NEVER EXAMINED ON ITS MERITS.
Summary judgment is meant for cases where the facts are clear and undisputed. That was not the situation here.
Justice requires that evidence be reviewed. When it isn’t, the process fails the people it’s meant to serve.
We believe the facts deserve to be heard—and we will continue pursuing every available avenue to ensure they are.
