California Court of Appeal

Judgment entered in favor of defendant-insurer in an insurance coverage dispute is affirmed, where the trial court did not err in finding that defendant-insurer had no duty to defend plaintiff-insured against claims brought by the general contractor arising out of plaintiff-subcontractor's installation of defective steel framing in an apartment building the general contractor was constructing because: 1) the Wrap Endorsement did not eliminate the requirement that the claim occur during the retroactive period; 2) defective tie hooks do not constitute "Property Damage" for purposes of coverage analysis; and 3) the Impaired Property exclusion bars the possibility of coverage.
