Village of Babylon v. Hendrickson Bros.

In an action to recover damages for continuing public nuisance, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Molia, J.), dated June 6, 2011, which granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as time-barred. Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs. The plaintiff alleges that, pursuant to a contract with Suffolk County, the defendant completed certain sewer construction work in 1973, and that defects in the construction work constitute and contribute to a continuing public nuisance. The action is time-barred for the reasons stated in the companion case of Village of Lindenhurst v J.D. Posillico, Inc. (94 AD3d 1101 [2012] [decided herewith]). The plaintiffs contentions relating to alleged statutory violations are not properly before this Court. Rivera, J.E, Dillon, Angiolillo and Leventhal, JJ., concur.
