NYC roommates sue for $40M after East Village blast; claim 'severe' physical, mental injuries

The New York Post reports Lucie Bauermeister, 23, and Anna Ramotowska, 26, filed suit on Monday in Bronx Supreme Court. The two claim they were "severely injured, both physically and mentally."

Court documents say Bauermeister and Ramotowska are specifically suing Con Ed, 121 Second Ave. landlord Maria Hrynenko, contractor Dilber Kukic and Hyeonil Kim, owner of Sushi Park.

The roommates were able to safely exit their apartment on March 26, and witnessed seeing a severe burn victim and several dramatic last-minute rescues, Jezebel reports.

After being interviewed on Fox 5's "Good Day New York" the day after the seven-alarm fire, Bauermeister posted on Facebook: "Cool to be on TV but bummer my house burnt down." Authorities say the women's building, 129 Second Ave., sustained minimal damage and was reopened to tenants on March 28.

Only if a counter suit is filed. If anybody ever gets sued that's the first step
when receiving any subpoena. Greedy attorneys hate that.

The court could throw it out at any level if it becomes clear that
it's a frivolous suit. A hearing would determine that and would most
likely be one of the steps. They get no 5th amendment rights to
be silent in a hearing.

This is NY, so anything can happen and their procedure is strict. we'll see.

Didn’t Con Ed cite them for incorrect work and demand they fix it shortly before the explosion? Let me guess, it has more to do with who has the deepest pockets.

These idiots were on Fox5 for quite a few minutes. They stated that they were fine, over and over. Case will be thrown out.
