Property Damage from Neighboring Construction Vibrations

A plaintiff sought indemnification for property damage resulting from work performed on an adjacent property, arguing that the construction inherently caused vibrations damaging their foundations and walls, constituting an abnormal neighborhood inconvenience, even without proving fault on the part of the defendant constructor or property owner. The court rejected the appeal, upholding the lower court's finding that the damage was a consequence of building work occurring on the neighboring property, and in the absence of proof that the work itself exceeded the limits of ordinary neighborhood annoyances or violated specific regulations, the liability could not be established based solely on the alleged abnormal inconvenience caused by vibrations from lawful construction activities.
