Summary
The Court affirmed the judgment against the former owner of a multiple‑dwelling, holding that under the Multiple Dwelling Law the owner remains liable for a dangerous condition that existed at the time of conveyance until the new owner has a reasonable opportunity to discover and repair it. The Court declined to address the separate common‑law exception for conscious deception.
