On February 17, 2017 the Illinois Appellate Court for the First District considered three consolidated appeals brought by a condominium association seeking damages for defects in the design and construction of a condominium building. Sienna Court Condominium Ass’n v. Champion Aluminum Corp., 2017 IL App (1st) 143364. Two of the Sienna Court appeals addressed the viability of claims for breach of the implied warranty of habitability against defendants that were not the builder or the seller. Id. at ¶ 48. The First District ruled that a property owner may not assert a claim of breach of implied warranty against design professionals and material suppliers who did not perform construction work. Id. at ¶¶ 66, 69. However, a property owner may assert a claim against a subcontractor of an insolvent developer or general contractor. Id. at ¶ 81. Read the article…………..
