New York is considering legislation, which, if enacted, would create a statute of repose<\/a> limiting the number of years after completion of a construction project that legal action may be asserted against a contractor. New York currently remains the only state without a statute of repose for construction. Earlier this year, however, the New York State Legislature introduced Bills S04127 and A01706 (the \u201cBill\u201d) , which would impose a 10-year period of repose in which an injured party may bring suit against a design professional and\/or a contractor for bodily injury or property damage resulting from a construction defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, contractors and design professionals have exposure to bodily injury and property damage claims resulting from construction defects for an unlimited number of years after completion of a project. If enacted, the Bill would limit the period of repose to 10 years after the project is completed, which is deemed to occur upon substantial completion or acceptance by the owner. An additional 1-year grace period is provided for an injured party to file suit where bodily injury or property damage occurs in the tenth year after completion. The Bill notably limits the applicability of the 10-year statute of repose to third-party actions and thereby preserves the existing 3-year and 6-year statutes of limitation applicable to actions asserted by an owner or client for professional malpractice and breach of contract, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Legislature cited the continued rise in the cost of insurance in New York as a primary driver of the proposed Bill. The Bill is also intended to bring further certainty to the scope of post-operational risk that design professionals and contractors are exposed to, and in turn, reduce the high cost of insurance for construction projects in New York. Although there is clear support in the New York Assembly and Senate for the enactment of such legislation, the Bill was only recently referred to Committee for further review and remains in the early stages of the legislative process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
