1) He built the house on a utility easement; it just does not get any dumber than that. Would anyone here build their home on a utility easement? Just curious, lets see a show of hands.
Two different surveyors did come out one before the foundation and one after the foundation.
Both surveyors say it is not on the easement.
3) Mr. Zagami was warned repeatedly not to build on the easement by the POCO.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Debbie Drew, the spokeswoman, said Zagami built his home on National Grid’s easement and ignored its repeated warning to stop.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Means nothing, this is the same POCO that said humans have nothing to worry about when pets where getting killed on live manhole covers "Because humans do not walk around bare foot."
5) What bank in their right mind would make a home construction loan for a house built on a utility easement?
They did not, as far as the surveyors are concerned it is not on the easement.
I agree the HO bares some responsibility but as electure mentioned a ways back there is plenty of blame to go around.
