Joseph Hinker and Dina Pecoraro filed a complaint on Sept. 9 in Cook County Circuit Court against John Atkin, alleging that the property owner failed to inform the plaintiffs about defects in a property.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that in 2015, they suffered damages from being misled into buying a home that had several defects, including water leaks, mold and water damage.
