Legal Question in Consumer Law in New York

Contract not fulfilled

I had a company come into my home to do waterproofing in my basement. After it was completed we had a flood and they came out and tore it up again. This was in Nov 07 and it is still torn up. Do we have legal recourse?

Re: Contract not fulfilled

You would have to send a "time of the essence" letter and give them a reasonable date to complete the job. The letter must also state what will happen if the job is not complete - thrown off, hire another contractor to complete, sue for damages.

If the company fails to comply, you may commence an action for breach of warranty and damages.
