Narrative Opinion Summary
Order from the Supreme Court, New York County, issued by Justice Elliott Wilk on January 11, 1995, denied the plaintiffs' motion to transfer the case to the Supreme Court and was unanimously affirmed with costs. The court found that the IAS Court did not abuse its discretion in refusing the removal, as the relief sought by plaintiffs from the Supreme Court was not available through Civil Court and was not warranted. Additionally, the defendants were not required to conduct a post-construction property inspection under New York City Administrative Code § 27-1026. The decision was concurred by Justices Murphy, Kupferman, Asch, Nardelli, and Tom.
