New York Court of Appeals
A.H.A. General Construction, Inc. v. New York City Housing Authority
June 11, 199892 N.Y.2d 20
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and granted summary judgment to the New York City Housing Authority, holding that the contractor waived its breach of contract claims by failing to comply with the contractual notice and reporting requirements. The court found no factual dispute that the Authority's alleged misconduct did not prevent the contractor from meeting those requirements. Consequently, the contractor's claims for extra work were dismissed.
