We recently filed a complaint on behalf of the purchasers of luxury residential real estate. The dispute centers around the sellers’ breach of clear contractual representations that all improvements were properly permitted and that no material defects were concealed. Shortly after the closing of the property, our clients learned, through a dangerous chemical leak, that such representations were not true. Most prevalently, the sellers had recently arranged for the removal and replacement of a water heater shortly before the closing without any disclosure. The situation was further exacerbated by a deficient home inspection, which resulted in our clients’ lives being endangered.
Within hours of moving into their new home, our clients were forced to evacuate after experiencing abnormal conditions and discovering dangerous levels of carbon monoxide inside the property. Emergency responders confirmed that the improperly installed water heater was the source of the hazard, exposing our clients and their child to serious health risks and requiring medical attention.
Primary counsel on the case, Kristen Shlotzhauer, had this to say, “This is an unfortunate situation for everyone involved. Our clients wanted to live happily in their new home, but were put in unmistakable danger, and now can’t trust several other representations that were made during the sale.”
Our firm regularly represents clients in complex real estate and business disputes, including property ownership disputes, construction litigation, and material defects.
