F. Garofalo Elec. v. Glick Dev. Affiliates

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Dec 8, 1992
188 A.D.2d 326 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

December 8, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Arber, J.).


Plaintiff was the electrical subcontractor on a Manhattan construction project. Defendant-appellant claims that it is not in privity with plaintiff, and that plaintiff contracted with a related but distinct entity (see, Eastern States Elec. Contrs. v Crow Constr. Co., 153 A.D.2d 522, 523).

The parties agree that there are ambiguities in the agreement requiring that the court consider extrinsic evidence. The record reflects the use of the names of various subsidiaries of an umbrella development entity in a manner that may be construed to blur the distinction among those subsidiaries.

We have considered all of appellant's other arguments, and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Rosenberger, Kassal and Rubin, JJ.
