An Oklahoma City property owner has sued the city after a crew it hired last year allegedly demolished the wrong building.

Cru Jones says the city intended to demolish the house at 21-23 Southwest Tenth Street in August 2005, but accidentally razed an adjacent building he owns at 21-21 Southwest Tenth.

Jones says the city offered him six-thousand dollars for the building six months after it was demolished. He said the appraised value was about 46-thousand dollars.

Real estate renovation company Totipotent Properties L-L-C is co-owned by Jones and his business partner.

Amanda Carpenter is a city attorney assigned to the case. Carpenter says the city didn't tear down the wrong house.

Jones says the company is seeking between 70-thousand and 80-thousand dollars in costs.
