SAN MATEO — A Poplar Creek Golf Course restauranter sued the city of San Mateo this week, claiming city officials destroyed her thriving business by leasing a leaky and moldy building to her, then failing to do much about it despite her pleas for help.

Alicia Petrakis — who ran the Par 3 restaurant and Villa Vista banquet hall at the city-owned golf course — claimed the city knew for years that the buildings she leased were prone to flooding, leaks and sewage issues. Still, she said, city officials failed to properly warn her about it, or do much to fix those problems after she repeatedly aired her concerns.
