ST. LOUIS — The husband and wife behind Brew Tulum, a Central West End specialty coffeehouse and Mexican eatery that in November shuttered its doors, are suing their landlords amid a dispute over lead contamination.
The suit, filed Wednesday in St. Louis Circuit Court, alleges that the property owners and managers refused to appropriately remediate lead contamination at the shop, at 5090 Delmar Blvd.
“There are so many different boxes you need to check in order to get your permits, and I’m just baffled that the city doesn’t have protocol in place to catch this,” owner Laura McNamara said. “There’s no reason why a restaurant, coffee shop or place that accepts families should be able to be open with a lead hazard and nobody have known about it.”
