THE ACTION ALLEGING DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION OF A CONDOMINIUM ACCRUED WHEN THE WORK WAS COMPLETED, I.E., WHEN THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WAS ISSUED; THE ACTION WAS TIME-BARRED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that the action alleging defective construction of a condominium was time-barred. The action accrued the work was completed, i.e., when the certificate of occupancy was issued:

A claim for damages arising from defective construction accrues on the date of completion of the work … . “This rule applies no matter how a claim is characterized in the complaint’ because all liability’ for defective construction has its genesis in the contractual relationship of the parties'” … . Here, the corporate defendants demonstrated their prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law dismissing the first through third and fifth through seventh causes of action insofar as asserted against them. The corporate defendants established that the causes of action accrued on October 5, 2007, the date the certificate of occupancy was issued … , and that this action was not commenced until June 2016, more than eight years later, at which time the applicable statutes of limitations had expired. Board of Mgrs. of the 23-23 Condominium v 210th Place Realty, LLC, 2020 NY Slip Op 04143, Second Deptp 7-22-20
