When a water pipe burst and flooded its basement space, Ever-Win filed a property-damage claim against its landlord.
Even though a jury found in the tenant's favor, the Kings County Supreme Court opted to set aside the verdict and dismiss the case.
On appeal, the Appellate Division, Second Department, ended up agreeing with the jury--because the owner was solely responsible for the sprinkler system's repair and maintenance, and the tenant didn't have access to the pipe in question.
Ever-Win sure must have been energized by that.
