OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA
v.

HOFFMAN MECHANICAL, INe., a

Defendant
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, 589 Salem Road, Inc., t/d/b/a Hillside Cafe Steakhouse,
by and through its attorneys, Nicholas Law Offices, P.C., and files this Complaint against
Defendant, Hoffman Mechanical, Inc., and in support thereof avers the following:
1. Plaintiff, 589 Salem Road, Inc., is a Pennsylvania business corporation, trading
and doing business as Hillside Cafe Steakhouse at 589 Salem Road, Etters, York County,
Pennsylvania 17319-9548. George K. Sgagias is the principal officer of 589 Salem Road, Inc.
2. Defendant, Hoffman Mechanical, Inc., is a Pennsylvania business corporation
with a principal place of business located at 625 Hamilton Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17013-1925.
3. On or about March 17, 2004, Plaintiff telephoned Defendant and requested
service at its restaurant business premises to inspect and repair a deep freezer unit that was not
holding its cold temperature required to keep foods frozen.
4. Frozen foods were stored in this freezer and it was located in an area immediately
accessible to the kitchen staff. Other freezers were located in more inconvenient locations in the
restaurant premises.
5. During the initial call for service, Plaintiff advised Defendant that it was not an
emergency situation since all food products stored in the deep freezer had been moved to other
freezers on the premises for continued storage. Defendant advised Plaintiff that a technician
could be dispatched that same day.
6. Defendant's repair technician arrived at the premises on the same day as the call
was placed and, after inspecting and working on the deep freezer unit, advised Plaintiff that the
unit was leaking coolant fluid and the cause was a compressor coil which needed to be replaced
but the part was not immediately available and would have to be ordered.
7. The Plaintiff requested that he be provided with an estimate for the cost of the
part explaining that the freezer was an older unit and it may be more economical to replace rather
than repair it.
8. The following day, Plaintiff was advised it would be about 4 days before the part
would be received from the manufacturer/distributor and installed. Plaintiff was further advised
that the cost ofthe part would be "several hundred dollars."
9. Defendant's repair technician returned 8 to 10 days later and replaced the coil he
said was malfunctioning, added coolant to the system; and reported to the Plaintiff that the
freezer was now working, and left the premises.
10. The Defendant's repair technician took the original part with him when he
departed rather than leave it with the plaintiff as is customary in the business trade.
11. Near the close of business that evemng, In reliance upon Defendant's
employee/agent's assurances that the freezer was repaired and working, and upon determining
that the freezer temperature was lowering, Plaintiffs employees reloaded the deep freezer with
frozen foods.
12. The following morning, Plaintiffs employees discovered that the freezer was
again malfunctioning and the frozen foods placed in the freezer had thawed. Due to health
concerns in preparing frozen foods that were thawed, the Plaintiff determined that the thawed
food products could not be served to customers without a health risk, so he disposed of those
thawed foods.
13. The cost of the food disposed of totaled $1,786.00.
14. The Plaintiff called the Defendant to speak with the employer, who never returned
the Plaintiffs call.
15. The Plaintiff thereafter called and spoke with the Defendant's technician and
reported that the freezer was not working. The Plaintiff also asked that the original part be
returned to the Plaintiff.
16. Defendant's technician returned to the restaurant premises during business hours
and again examined and worked on the freezer. The Defendant's technician left complaining the
area was too crowded with Plaintiffs employees and he could not work on the freezer properly.
The original replaced part was not returned.
17. Defendant's technician returned early the following morning and again worked on
the freezer. After a period of time, Defendant's technician announced it was finally repaired and
could be used as it was intended as a freezer.
18. Plaintiff placed a few frozen foods in the freezer to see if the system was, in deed,
working. After several hours, the freezer was not working and the temperature was rising.
19. The Plaintiff, still unable to reach and speak with the technician's employer,
called and again spoke with the Defendant's technician.
20. Plaintiff was advised by Defendant's repair technician to the effect that "if you
really need this unit up and running, you better call another company. Do not call me or this
company."
21. Plaintiffreminded the Defendant's technician that he agreed to return the original
part to the Plaintiff. Defendant's technician agin agreed to return the part but has never done so.
22. Plaintiff proceeded to call another service company who immediately came to the
premises and properly repaired the deep freezer unit.
23. Plaintiff was advised by the second service company that after examination of the
freezer, the part replaced was not malfunctioning and that the system was overloaded with
coolant fluid that caused it to continue to malfunction.
24. Defendant failed to repalf Plaintiffs deep freezer unit In a proper and
workmanlike manner in accordance with acceptable standards in the trade.
25. As a result of Defendant's negligence, Plaintiff suffered a loss of food products in
the amount of $1,786.00.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully demands judgment in its favor in the amount of
$1,786.00, plus interest and costs of suit and that this honorable Court grant any other such relief
as it deems appropriate.
The amount at issue is less than $35,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs, and per
Cumberland County Rule of Court No. 1301-1, should be submitted for hearing and award to a
designated Board of Arbitrators consisting of three members of the Bar of Cumberland County.
