A Hartsdale couple say they are fed up with major flooding at their home and the significant damage it has caused through the years.

Barbara and Richard Zakrzewski say they are taking legal action in hopes of putting a stop to it.

They have lived on Marion Avenue in Hartsdale for nearly 50 years.

They're both in their 80's, and Richard Zakrzewski is a veteran and a stroke survivor.

"It's devastating for us," says Barbara Zakrzewski.

"Tens of thousands of dollars. It's a big basement. The lost stuff if very difficult to assess because a lot of it was mementos, artwork from my father," says Barbara Zakrzewski.

Hurricane Ida was when it was at its worst.

Barbara Zakrzewski says it stems from a deteriorating and decaying drainage system that runs through their property.

She says she has been in contact with the Town of Greenburgh and has gone through every avenue she could think of but says the issue hasn't been fixed.

"We kept asking, pleading, emails, and, conversations and visits to town hall," she says.

Now, they're taking legal action, accusing the town of failing to maintain a decaying municipal drainage system.

"We would like to help and unfortunately there is litigation right now. We offered to address the problem and they did not want to cooperate," says Town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner.

Cuddy & Feder attorney Seth Pavsner says the couple did everything they could prior to this litigation.

"The plans they proposed did not sync up with the language of the resolution and when our clients raised that with the town and said, hey there is a problem here, what you said you'd do and what you're now giving us a map proposing what to do, are two different things, what's going on? The town threw its hands up and refused to act," says Pavsner with.
