In Saylor v. Hall, Ky., 497 S.W.2d 218 (1973), we recognize a legal obligation to respond in damages for negligent construction despite the absence of privity. The ease involved two children of tenants, one injured and one killed, crushed by a fireplace and mantle that collapsed due to defective construction. The argument made in the present case, as recited in the Court of Appeals’ Opinion, is that “it seems capricious to deny recovery to a vigilant property owner who discovers a latent defect, which ‘only diminishes the value of his property, and allow recovery if he had ‘waited’ for a member of his family to be injured as a result of the defect.” Nevertheless, this Court recognizes that tort recovery is contingent upon damage from a destructive occurrence as contrasted with economic loss related solely to diminution in value, even though, as to property damage, both may be measured by the cost of repair. See Dealers Transport Company, Inc. v. Battery Distributing Company, Ky., 402 S.W.2d 441 (1966), adopting Section 402A of the Restatement (Second) of Torts in defective products cases.
