July 3, 19573 N.Y.2d 137
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the architects and builder were not liable under the MacPherson doctrine because the complaint failed to allege a latent defect, and that the builder's contract did not obligate it to indemnify the Housing Authority for injuries occurring after construction; both the plaintiff's complaint and the Authority's third‑party complaint were dismissed.
