Question:
Joseph Marcantuone and Robert Gieson owned a shopping center in which one of the spaces was always leased as a dry cleaners. Eventually, the city of East Orange, New Jersey, took the property by eminent domain in order to expand the facilities for a school located next to the shopping center. In performing due diligence, the city learned that solvents from the dry cleaner operations had made their way into the soil beneath the property. The city asked that Messrs. Marcantuone and Gieson pay over $200,000 for the cleanup. Can they be held liable for what the dry cleaner tenants did?
