Greg Montoya is now one of nearly 300 plaintiffs in a case that says that after years of the city neglecting to take care of storm drains, it's created a deluge…

For a second time, a Southcrest homeowner is in the process of suing the City of San Diego because of flooding damage to his home.

The San Diego native’s home of nearly 30 years is now gutted because of the severe flooding that hit San Diego in January 2024. Those claims of negligence are spelled out in a lawsuit he and nearly 300 others submitted to be filed.The suit also claims the city was well aware, for years, that it didn't have enough money to fix the problem.

Not only because the suit says city engineers told the city back in 2016 that the South Chollas Creek Channel needed repairs, but also because Walker represented Montoya in a similar flooding case against the city back in 2019.“The city new about it. We have documentation cited in the complaint, but the city didn't do anything about it for years and they knew something like this could happen," said Walker.
