Allie Beth Allman Sues Worth Ross Management Over Damage to Her Crestpark Condo

Allie Beth Allman and her late husband, Pierce Allman, purchased their unit at the Crestpark in Highland Park in 2010. The home was perfect for the pair — beautiful views, gorgeous interiors, and a floor plan that is perfect for how often the two entertained. But their dream luxury condominium turned into a nightmare when, as Pierce’s health began to decline, a leak was left unrepaired and flooded the Allman’s unit according to a recently filed lawsuit against Worth Ross Management Company.

The suit claims that in August of 2022, Allie Beth arrived at their Crestpark unit after caring for Pierce to find her living room partially submerged. The leak from the roof of their unit was reported to the Crestpark in Highland Park’s management company, which is Worth Ross Management, and the building’s HOA. That’s where things went sideways. According to the suit, Worth Ross didn’t take action to fix the leak. It was months later in November of 2022 on the day that her husband of 59 years passed that Allie Beth again returned home to find her unit under water.

The suit claims that because of the damage to her home, Allie Beth was unable to host a memorial with her close family and friends after her husband’s tragic passing. To make matters much worse, the roof leak — which is considered a part of the “Common Elements” maintained by Worth Ross Management — remained unrepaired for more than a year.

“Since the first reported leak, water has continued to enter and damage the Property,” the suit alleges. “For example, the extra moisture in the living room caused the patio door to become distorted, making it extremely difficult to open. Just recently, water entered the Property causing more damage and creating a safety hazard from October 27 through October 29, 2023, when water pooled on the plastic floor cover. Thus far, the leak has still not been repaired, and a substantial portion — approximately 1,274 square feet — of the residence is inaccessible.”

If you thought that was bad, according to the suit, Worth Ross agreed to pay storage fees while the company attempted to repair the leak, but Allie Beth has yet to see a dime from the company. At a minimum, she has spent about $251,000 to repair art, furniture, and other property damaged by the water leaking into her unit for more than a year. Further salting the wound is the fact that mold was found in the unit, but for some reason, Worth Ross and their contractor never completed remediation.

The suit seeks monetary relief over $1 million for being unable to use her home as well as the loss to property and for other costs associated with storage and repairs to her belongings. We reached out to Worth Ross Management CEO Andrea Willett for comment but did not receive a response.
