Owner Jozef Gjonaj said the conflict centers on who is responsible for repairs in the event of an insurance claim for the interior of the building at 3000 E. Grand River Avenue, he or building owner Sam Edye Management Co. Gjonaj leases the space from Eyde and was insured through Auto-Owners. Gjonaj said he's provided ample proof to Lansing-based Auto-Owners, including a lease agreement, that his company J&G Restaurant, Inc. is responsible for all interior repairs at the restaurant.
