July 2, 2002 - A Superior
Court jury yesterday found Los Angeles Clippers owner and real
estate mogul Donald Sterling primarily responsible for the moldy
conditions of an apartment complex he owns in Encinitas.
Sterling was named along with Patricia Simmons in a lawsuit
filed by Louann Murray, who said she developed asthma because
of her moldy dwelling in the Ritz Colony Apartments. She said
the mold also caused irreparable damage to her antique furniture
and clothes.
Murray said apartment officials tried to cover up the mold instead
of eradicating it. She rented the apartment in 1999 for $850
a month.
The jury decided the defendant was 69 percent at fault and awarded
Murray about $50,000 in damages.
The jury also said Murray contributed to the moldy conditions
by not opening her windows enough.
