Decatur’s Artisan Residents Sue Developer Over Construction Defects
Decatur Metro | January 24, 2011Wow.
Kyle sends in this article from Fulton County’s Daily Report detailing a lawsuit that residents at Decatur’s downtown Artisan condo have filed against the property’s developer, general contractors, four sub-contractors and vendors over a number of “alleged construction defects.”
What sort of defects?
The association claims the building is plagued with leaking, cracking stucco; failed waterproofing barriers; problems with the rooftop swimming pool and a system meant to pipe out water leaking into its liner; poorly installed and constructed windows; and several other problems.
The article goes on to detail some of the biggest complaints from residents and has quotes from attorneys on both sides of the issue. In closing, the plaintiffs’ lawyer notes that the Artisan “is a great community and these are correctable problems. It’s just a matter of who’s going to pay for it”
