Raccoons fall through ceiling, attack a Kansas City woman sleeping in bed: lawsuit
A Kansas City woman has filed suit against a property management company, saying that poor maintenance at her rented apartment caused several raccoons to fall through her ceiling and onto her head while she slept.
Amanda Howery, 49, was living in a property on E. 82nd Street in Kansas City, managed by Sage Door Property Management, when the alleged wildlife incident happened in 2023, according to the lawsuit filed Aug. 16.
Howery was asleep in bed on Feb. 14, 2023, when the raccoons fell through her ceiling, the lawsuit states.
Howery said she was attacked by the the raccoons and reporting multiple injuries for which she was hospitalized, according to the lawsuit.
Howery said she was aware her ceiling had been damaged before the incident, the lawsuit states, and that she had informed her landlords about the damage.
Based in Blue Springs, Sage Door Property Management oversees multiple rental properties in the Kansas City metropolitan area, focused mainly on standalone houses.
The building where Howery lived during the attack is owned by SC REI LLC, a Colorado investment corporation also named in the lawsuit.
Representatives for Safe Door, SC REI and Howery were not immediately available for comment Tuesday.

How to Watch Chiefs vs. Steelers: NFL Week 17 TV, Odds, Preview
For the first time since the 2022 AFC playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs will square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kansas City has a three-game winning streak over Pittsburgh, which includes the aforementioned contest in the Wild Card round of the postseason. This year, both teams have already clinched playoff berths but still have something to play for. The Chiefs, specifically, can get the best Christmas present of all by winning and locking up the one-seed and a first-round bye. A win makes them unreachable to the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers, on the other hand, are looking to maintain their division lead. They hold a conference tiebreaker over the surging Baltimore Ravens but are far from certain to keep that.
