The 12 plaintiffs were members of two families who resided in rental apartments owned by Joseph Burrato, later purchased by 515 E Street, LLC.
Within a year of the purchase, the units were condemned by the City of Santa Rosa due to water and mold. The families were given 48 hours to abandon the property.
The families sued Heffernan for overpayment of rent, constructive eviction, personal injuries, emotional distress, reckless disregard for the health and safety. Heffernan filed a cross claim against Burrato for non-disclosure.

The parties agreed to settle the matter in the amount of $225,000, which was divided accordingly between Burrato and Heffernan.
