Cuyahoga Construction sued

Accused of failing to deliver promised services

A consumer protection lawsuit has been filed against a home improvement contractor accused of failing to deliver promised services to Clevelandarea consumers, according to a news release from the office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.

William Burke, doing business as Cuyahoga Construction, is accused of violating state consumer protection laws, according to the release.

Four consumers have filed complaints against the company since 2017, and their reported losses total more than $4,600.

“We are taking this action to protect consumers,” DeWine said in the release. “Most home improvement contractors do good work, but in this case, we found a pattern of problems.”

The Attorney General’s lawsuit, filed in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, accuses Burke of failing to deliver promised services, performing shoddy work, failing to obtain required permits or licenses, taking on new customers while having an unpaid judgment from a previous consumer transaction, and failing to notify consumers about their right to cancel a home solicitation sale.

In the lawsuit, the Attorney General seeks reimbursement for affected consumers and an end to any violations of the Consumer Sales Practices Act and Home Solicitation Sales Act.
