Construction Defects – The Bronx, NY
Construction defects are not just an inconvenience—they can result in serious safety issues, water damage, and expensive repairs. In The Bronx, where both new developments and older building renovations are accelerating, construction defects are becoming increasingly common. At Kushnick Pallaci PLLC, we represent Bronx property owners, landlords, and co-op boards in legal actions involving defective construction work.
Whether the damage appears in a new building or a renovated walk-up, we help you hold the right parties accountable.
🧱 Common Construction Defects in The Bronx
- Foundation cracking or sinking
- Water infiltration through roofs or masonry
- Uneven floors or structural settlement
- Defective plumbing or electrical systems
- Poorly installed windows or doors
- Building Code violations hidden during or after construction
Many Bronx properties—especially multi-family units and renovated brownstones—are vulnerable to shortcuts and unlicensed work by contractors.
🔎 How to Identify a Construction Defect in The Bronx
- Do you notice cracking or leaks soon after construction or renovation?
- Did a contractor leave without finishing—or return to fix repeated issues?
- Are your building systems (e.g., boiler, electrical) failing prematurely?
You may be dealing with a latent construction defect—one that isn’t obvious until long after the work is “completed.” Our team investigates the cause and develops a legal strategy to recover your losses.
⚖️ Legal Options for Defective Construction in The Bronx
- Negligence Claims – For poor workmanship or unsafe installations
- Breach of Contract or Warranty – When promised work is defective
- DOB Violations & Code Enforcement – For unpermitted or illegal construction
