In this case, vulnerability arose due to the reliance by thePlaintiffs on the certification requirements imposed by statute onthe Council (which was known by Council) and the assumedresponsibility by the Council of undertaking those inspections andto issue an occupation certificate. The statutory scheme and therole of the Council as Principal Certifying Authority (PCA) aredistinguishing features of this case.
