Javaheri v. Aum, L.P.
Plaintiff owns an apartment building on Durango Street in Los Angeles. When he bought the building, in 1998, there was a single family home in the lot directly south of his. In 2002, defendant AUM bought that lot, planning to build a multi-unit condominium with underground parking, to be called Durango Manor. (Defendant Xurolif is AUM's general partner.) AUM hired defendant Fargo, a contractor, and in January 2003, demolished the house and began excavation.
In November 2004, plaintiff brought this lawsuit for negligence, trespass, strict liability for failure to comply with Civil Code section 832, and intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, contending, inter alia, that his building was damaged by the excavation. Court affirm.
