Opinion
June 4, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Genesee County, Pine, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Hancock, Jr., Callahan and Green, JJ.
Order unanimously reversed, on the law, with costs, and motion granted. Memorandum: Special Term erred in denying defendants' motion to dismiss the second cause of action for breach of an implied warranty of habitability. The conveyance from defendants to plaintiffs was pursuant to a contract for the sale of a completed house in which defendants had resided for approximately three years. Cases such as De Roche v. Dame ( 75 A.D.2d 384, lv dismissed 51 N.Y.2d 821) and Centrella v. Holland Constr. Corp. ( 82 Misc.2d 537), where newly constructed residences were purchased from the owners-builders, do not apply. Any implied warranty is barred by Real Property Law § 251 (see, Spano v. Perry, 59 Misc.2d 1062).
