Full Text
2,560 charsthe tank had been located. The sample ‘‘indicate[d] ele-
vated levels of contaminants . . . .’’ Approximately
one year later, in March or April of 2014, Giuseppe
removed the 330 gallon tank, as well. Giuseppe was not
licensed to remove these tanks, and neither he nor the
plaintiffs notified DEEP of their removal.
Meanwhile, in 2012, the parties began discussing a
potential lease of the premises and the defendants’
intention to operate a retail rug gallery and a Subway
sandwich restaurant thereon. The parties agreed that
the defendants would make significant renovations to
the premises in preparation for operating these busi-
nesses. To undertake these renovations, the defendants
were required to obtain building permits and certifi-
cates of occupancy for each business. At some point
during the discussions over the proposed lease, Nader
asked Dominick whether any environmental contami-
nation was present on the property. Nader and his
brother Sassoon had experienced environmental issues
in the past with a different property that, like the prem-
ises at issue, also had been an automobile repair busi-
ness, and they wanted to ensure there would be no
similar problems with the leased premises. Dominick
did not inform Nader of the presence of the tanks, the
results of the DEEP inspections, the testing performed
by Absolute Tank, or any potential contamination on
the site.4
Richard H. Girouard, Sr., the property manager for the
plaintiffs, served as the leasing agent for the premises.
Girouard drafted and negotiated the terms of the lease
on behalf of the plaintiffs. In addition, distinct from his
role as the plaintiffs’ leasing agent, Girouard offered to
consult with the defendants regarding the renovation
4
Dominick’s response to Nader’s inquiry was in dispute at trial. Nader
testified that Dominick told him that ‘‘[t]here was no contamination, there
was no trace of any violations whatsoever. . . . There [were] never any
violations.’’ Dominick testified that he told Nader, ‘‘if this property is contam-
inated, [the defendants will] take care of all the contamination . . . .’’
