Description
The plaintiffs, Laurie and Christopher Delano, purchased 437 17th Street, West Babylon, NY from the defendant Michael Umbreit pursuant to a standard NSBA approved contract dated May 31, 2004. The plaintiffs paid defendant William Blanda d/b/a USA Home Inspection Services $350.00 to do a visual home inspection and give a written report. The real property sale closed on August 30, 2004. The parties executed a post closing possession agreement which created a $2,500.00 escrow, held by defendant William Whalen, Esq., to insure delivery of the premises with all appliances and systems being in working order. A dispute arose as to the swimming pool and the defendant Umbreit commenced a small claims action to recover the $2,500.00 not paid due to the escrow dispute. An arbitrator awarded the plaintiffs a judgment in the sum of $495.00 on their counterclaim on December 6, 2004. Defendant Whalen paid plaintiffs out of the escrow per a letter demand dated December 10, 2004 and released the balance of the escrow to the defendant Umbreit without having received a formal escrow release. Sometime shortly thereafter, the plaintiffs discovered that two rooms in the house had no heat source, and that the heating vents were only cosmetic and were not connected to the furnace system. The plaintiffs seek to recover the cost of hooking up to the furnace and assert a cause of action sounding in fraud.
