They sued the management company that hired the company who installed the air conditioning unit directly on top of plaintiff's roof. They also sued the homeowners association. They alleged negligence, negligence per se (violation of the Los Angeles Municipal Court Ordinance) and nuisance. They asked the jury for $3.8 million for loss of enjoyment of life, loss of enjoyment of home, mental stress, loss of sleep, nervousness, uncontrollable body vibrations, and hearing loss.
