Shapiro v. Hu

Opinion

WHITE, P. J.

This appeal concerns the sale of an improved parcel of real property “as is.” The purchasers, upon belatedly discovering that the building had serious defects in its basement and foundational walls, sued the vendor for breach of contract, rescission, fraud and misrepresentation.

We affirm.
