Update

Ceiling is patched.

Thank you to Code enforcement for stopping in today and making sure everything looks ok. They took the time to explain everything to me. Definitely gives me some hope that we have officials watching out for us.

A couple days of problems

Started Monday morning when our server saw the ceiling was leaking in the dining room. The server came into the kitchen and made me aware of the situation. When I walked out to dining room I noticed the ceiling looked like it was falling in a small section. I closed a couple of the tables so no one would be in harms way. I then called code enforcement and left a message at 6:15am. Code enforcement called me back at 8:30 and I explained the situation and they said they may or may not be up in a few minutes to see what was going on. At 9:15 code enforcement came into the restaurant looked at the ceiling then went upstairs to look. Code enforcement never came back into restaurant to give us an update. I left a message and emailed them with no response. Also at 6:15 I texted project manager, builder and building owner and response from builder was project manger has roofers on the schedule. The project manager at 8:15 said I will send someone down to investigate. At 12:15 one of the employees from the builder came in did a walk around and said the ceiling is not going to fall and roofers will be here tomorrow. I did not trust the opinion so I kept the tables closed. When I came in this morning pieces of the ceiling had fell over night. More pieces of the ceiling look unstable so I did keep those tables closed. I did contact builder, project manger and building owner by text again letting them know the ceiling did fall with no response back. I did receive an email from project manger saying they need to access our space on Wednesday to repair ceiling. None of the three apologized.
I understand that accidents happen but when you are doing any construction with a business running on the bottom floor I really think being extremely careful and aware of what you are doing should be the first priority.
I did reach out to the Mayors office by email making them aware of the full situation including code enforcement not getting back to me. The Mayors office did get back to me quickly saying that they would contact DPW deputy and head of code enforcement and have them get back to me. I still have not heard from them.

My biggest question is how many times “accidents“ from the building owners crew are allowed before building departments or public officials get involved.

We will be back open Thursday at 6am. We love our customers and really are still enjoying the summer. We will continue to fight to do what we enjoy doing.

I know multiple people will say why don’t you just move. We are waiting on the judges decisions. We have tried to get out of this situation multiple times but landlord is keeping us on the hook for remaining lease. That is why we are waiting for judges decisions before we make a plan for the future.

Update

Construction on the building has begun again on the upstairs. It is a little loud at times which is to be expected. They did leave holes in our ceiling that have caused saw dust to cover the dining room. They have said they fixed that problem. They keep blocking the basement door off so we have no way to change our soda. Not being able to change the soda is a pain in the ass but I am a little worried if we have an emergency because our gas and water shutoffs are in the basement. Water meter lady tried to get down to read the meter and could not so she went upstairs and they said she could go down the ladder, she refused and demanded that they remove the wood that was blocking the door. They did remove the wood when she was there but blocked the door again after she left.

As for the lawsuit we are just waiting on the judge to decide what the next steps will be. From what I am hearing this will be a long process. The worst part of this whole situation is the uncertainty of the future.

As for the summer it has been wonderful seeing some of our regulars that come in every year in the summer. We have been busy and the staff has been working very hard.

Once again and from my heart thank you to all of our customers.

Update

We have no new news to share on lawsuit or eviction. Negotiating is at a stand still. We hate to have this hanging over us but we have nothing that we can do at this time.
We are very thankful for all of our customers, they have been wonderful as always.
We are very thankful for our staff for their hard work. They have also been standing by us during this very stressful time.
Thank you again to everyone

Updates

Roof was finally sealed and held up against all the rain. Huge relief. $1,300 in cooler repair and $1,000-$2,000 in lost food. Hopefully that is the end of that problem.

Lawsuit update
We of course said no to the offer that they made to us and they said no to our offer. Once again we are at a stale mate. We do not plan on making any more offers and plan on just letting the judge decide. No idea how long this process is going to take but I guess this is what we have to do. This is not what we wanted hanging over our heads and do not understand how this can even happen. In a lot of ways I feel like this is a form of bullying, we said no to them taking out our tables that we use for our business and we get slapped with an eviction and a lawsuit. In my eyes I have a hard time believing that officials that say they want small businesses in the state can not prevent this. In my eyes I wish that this case was more about right and wrong and not who can out last the other one. I know the other side believes they are right. Only thing I ask is if you have a lease for a certain space, how can that space be shrunk and you are supposed to be ok with that. I also do not understand how if you are sued for something and it has been proved by a third Party (bank statements) than how can someone still come after you for that still. In my personal opinion if something is proved by a credible third party (like documents) that is the responsibility of the lawyer not to pursue that case. Maybe I do not understand ethics. I do understand that i do not have a high education but to me some times common sense has to come in to play.
Now that i vented and rambled

On a great note
It’s summer time in Saratoga. The town is beautiful and the people are amazing. Thank you for letting us be a part of Saratoga it is truly an honor.

Comptons Owners still fighting to do what we love.

Update on lawsuit

Comptons made an offer to leave us alone for the summer and we will be out by end of September. ( not what we want to do but offered it because we have other locations that would love to have us and we want this lawsuit to be over) our offer was declined and countered with be out by end of September plus pay all of landlords lawyers fees and 2 additional years of rent ($7,150.00 x24). We of course rejected this offer.
The stress from having a lawsuit hanging over us is crazy. We feel we have done everything we could to end this. Tina and Bill have sacrificed real estate that they owned for their future to cover expenses.
I can not speak for the landlord and do not know what he is thinking but my personal opinion is they are trying to bankrupt us.

On another note
On Thursday during the heavy rain the roof leaked again in the back room and dining room. This time leaking so bad that it tripped the breakers on electrical for our cooler and condensation pump for ac. This caused damage to food that we had to throw out plus water everywhere that had to be cleaned. We did reach out to landlord/ project manager/ builder as soon as we noticed leak early Thursday with no response back from any of the three. This is another reason we just want to be out. We have told them about the leak more than ten times over the last year with every time getting worse.

Our summer has been off to a strong start. Customers have been amazing as usual. Thank you to all of you.

We continue to fight and will keep everyone updated if anything changes.

We are open

We will be open 6 days a week for the summer 

Closed Wednesdays

Yes the lawsuit is hanging over are head but we are looking to have a great summer on Broadway. We are not sure what will happen after the summer. Honestly I feel that we are at are breaking point with fighting. Business are so hard to run when everything is going perfectly and this is making it unbearable.

Once again huge shoutout to our staff.

Thank you for all the loyalty from our customers. No matter what happens our customers will always mean a great deal to us.

With all of this said there is still no place like Saratoga Springs NY year round but especially in the summer.
