Water Damage from Tropical Storm Fay

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

I have received numerous emails regarding builder deficiencies and water leakage issues with Tropical Storm Fay.  I wish I had better news but unless you are within your one year warranty period with the builder, I don’t beleive they will be assisting you with repairs.  I personally have experienced almost $12k worth of interior repairs due to the storm.  Luckily my insurance company is covering the costs but regular maintenance items (such as window caulk, stucco patch and roof repairs) are my responsibility.  As you may have seen in our last newsletter, the association is still pursuing collection of a $300K+ judgment against the developer for deficiencies in community property.  It’s not going to be an easy road to collect this judgment, but one the Board of Directors feel is a worthwhile pursuit.  It has been questioned whether a class-action among residents is being formed.  I personally have not started one but if there is a resident that is interested in leading an action against the builder, I will certainly assist in the congregation of residents.  Thank you for taking advantage of our website and communicating with fellow residents.  I look forward to using this as a forum to keep in communication with homeowners.  Sincerely, Alycia
