Goldmark sued by parents of man who died in apartment fire

One of the region’s largest landlords has been slapped with a wrongful death lawsuit by the family of a man who died in a fire in one of its rental apartments. Parents of James Peyton allege in the lawsuit that Peyton and his roommate told Goldmark Property Management before the fatal fire that the smoke alarms were malfunctioning in their apartment at Ashbury Apartments. The 31-year-old died in a fire during the early morning hours of Jan. 29, 2012, at 4345 10th Ave S.
