Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City has filed a notice of a $1.5 million claim against the city, alleging gross negligence by the fire department during a fire on July 27.
The claim itemises close to $489,000 in architectural and engineering fees and says the one-day closure of the casino floor cost at least $1 million in lost revenue.
A notice of claim is a required step before suing a public body in New Jersey. No complaint has been filed in court, and the notice does not explain how the fire department is alleged to have been at fault.
