Lawsuit: Pending PetitRenard_ v. Department of Construction & Transportation [2025] DCR 78

[SimplyPiano]

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION


PetitRenard_
Plaintiff
v.

Department of Construction & Transportation
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:


I received plot c115 in clean condition with no violations whatsoever. Then, within just hours of receiving it, the Department of Construction & Transportation filed an eviction report against me. I immediately got to work on the construction and made real progress, but when I requested a deferral, they rejected it without any explanation or legal basis. Their arbitrary refusal to grant me an exemption under Section 20(1) of the Property Standards Act has costed me $70,000 in plot value and construction costs.

I. PARTIES

1. PetitRenard_
2. Department of Construction & Transportation

II. FACTS

1. On September 24, 2025, Plaintiff received ownership of plot c115 with no active violations or eviction reports on file.

3. The eviction date was set for October 8, 2025, providing fourteen days from the filing date for compliance.
4. Throughout the fourteen-day compliance period, Plaintiff actively constructed the building and made substantial progress toward meeting zoning and construction requirements.
5. Plaintiff submitted a request for an eviction deferral to the Defendant in accordance with DCT policy.
6. On or about October 8, 2025, the Defendant rejected Plaintiff's deferral request without providing legal justification or applying Section 20(1) of the Property Standards Act.
7. The Defendant proceeded with eviction on October 8, 2025.
8. As a direct result of the eviction, Plaintiff lost ownership of plot c115 and incurred damages totaling $70,000 in lost plot value and construction costs.

2. Plaintiff demonstrated substantial progress within the fourteen-day compliance period, meeting the criteria established in Section 20(1).
3. The Defendant's rejection of Plaintiff's deferral request without applying Section 20(1) was arbitrary, unjustified, and violated the Plaintiff's right to fair administrative process.
4. The Defendant failed to exercise its discretionary authority lawfully and deprived Plaintiff of relief to which Plaintiff was entitled under law.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF


T͟h͟e͟ ͟P͟l͟a͟i͟n͟t͟i͟f͟f͟ ͟s͟e͟e͟k͟s͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟f͟o͟l͟l͟o͟w͟i͟n͟g͟ ͟f͟r͟o͟m͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟D͟e͟f͟e͟n͟d͟a͟n͟t͟:͟

4. Damages in the amount of $70,000 for losses directly caused by the improper eviction, including lost plot value and construction costs.
