Job-search company Indeed has sued the owner of a Stamford office building, alleging it was forced to spend at least $1.2 million to remediate significant fireproofing defects in leased office space after the landlord refused to make repairs.
In a complaint filed on May 19 in U.S. District Court in Connecticut, Indeed claims 200 Elm Partners BH LLC, owner of The Link at Stamford office complex, failed to deliver leased space in compliance with fire safety laws despite contractual obligations to do so.
200 Elm Partners BH LLC is controlled by AM Property Holding Corp., which co-owns the building with Northeast Capital Group. Neither company immediately responded to a request for comment.
According to the lawsuit, Indeed discovered defective and deteriorated fireproofing in its space at 200 Elm St.-695 E. Main St. in 2025, including damaged or missing material that allegedly prevented its architect from certifying the premises for occupancy.
Indeed said the issues delayed its planned move and forced it to pay for remediation itself.
Indeed signed a 10-year lease for about 124,000 square feet in the building. The company relocated there from its former Stamford office at 177 Broad St.
The lawsuit alleges breach of contract, reckless misrepresentation and violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. Indeed is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other relief.
