Summary
In Bernheimer v. Kilpatrick (53 Hun 316, 319, affd. 127 N.Y. 672) it is stated: "It is a duty imposed upon the adjoining builder to so protect the adjoining wall, if he goes more than 10 feet below the level of the curb, that such wall shall not be injured by reason of the structure which he has put in the excavation after it is made, because the provision of the law is that the foundation of adjoining house must be supported in such manner that it shall remain as stable as before the excavations were commenced."
