In Grandview at Riverwalk Port Imperial Condominium Association v. K. Hovnanian at Port Imperial, a Hudson County jury on June 1 awarded a $10 million construction defect verdict against a publicly traded developer and an architectural company.

The plaintiffs, condominium association members, claimed they learned after buying units in a six-story West New York development that the building was not code-compliant—and that the developer’s parent company, Hovnanian Enterprises, was aware of it.
