The NYS Dormitory Authority was a defendant in a construction litigation which involved the construction of a “Court Officers Training Academy (project).” The defendant moved for summary judgment dismissing the plaintiff contractor’s claims for extra work and delay damages.

The court noted that the Project “encountered every problem imaginable.” Problems included issues with respect to the “slab foundation in building 2,” “asbestos, mold and roofing”. There were also “delays in obtaining permits” and “[e]xtensive redesign was required.”
