Massive bathroom renovation causes thousands in damage

Officials say a destructive renovation that hit an Upper West Side apartment in October displaced at least four people for weeks and left dust-covered furniture, dangerous paint fumes, and massive bills in its wake. The apartment, which originally featured a single crumbling bathroom, now features two new bathrooms, which complement the remaining dingy walls, pet-shredded furniture, and original, urine-stained hardwood floors. A family cat that was left behind during the ordeal unfortunately managed to survive.
