Alexandra M. Ortiz, Respondent,

against

Tee Pee Fence & Railing Corp., Appellant.


Appeal from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Kevin Kerrigan, J.), dated February 1, 2005. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, awarded plaintiff the principal sum of $4,245.


Judgment affirmed without costs.

In this small claims action to recover damages caused by defendant's defective installation of concrete around plaintiff's house, we find that the trial court properly [*2]
rendered its judgment providing the parties with substantial justice according to the rules and principles of substantive law (CCA 1804, 1807; see Ross v Friedman, 269 AD2d 584 [2000]; Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125, 126 [2000]).

Pesce, P.J., Weston Patterson and Rios, JJ., concur.
