Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York July 9, 1912 (Hoffman v. Rickard)

Foote, J.:

It appeared upon the trial that the floors of this house, after it was completed, were not upon a level. They were out of level to the extent of three-fourths of an inch in some of the rooms. It appeared that these floors had settled. The plans and specifications called for level floors. Expért witnesses testified as to the expense of remedying this defect.
