Construction Defects – Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn’s real estate boom has transformed neighborhoods—but not every renovation or new development is built to last. When construction work results in leaks, cracks, failing systems, or unsafe conditions, you may be facing a construction defect. At Kushnick Pallaci PLLC, we help Brooklyn property owners, co-op boards, landlords, and homeowners identify and take legal action over defective construction.
Whether it’s a poorly renovated brownstone or a new condo with hidden flaws, we’re ready to help you protect your investment.
