A story that hit the headlines a while back had a home builder in Arizona being sued by the city of Tucson over allegations of excessive electrical work done on one of his homes. It appears that the home builder built a new home in 2021, which has electrical problems. He then told a home inspection company that it was a “light” repair and that he did not remember ever having to make repairs to the electrical system. The home inspector who investigated the home later found that the home had been built with 110 volts, according to the report.
A Mansfield, OH home builder named Richard and unidentified woman were sued by their neighbor for an amount in excess of $ Navajo Tribal Claim Lawsuits sum.
According to court documents, Richard and the woman “made frequent and recurring phone calls regarding issues with the walls of the home.” When confronted by the inspectors, they denied making these claims and repeatedly stated that there were no walls or any parts of the home that needed improvement. They both finally were able to give a story to the inspectors that they were in the process of renovating the home and that as the renovations progressed the walls began to come loose and fell on several occasions. The inspectors’ story didn’t add up and was later determined to be false.
Another home builder in Ohio has been sued over similar allegations of defective homes. Earlier this year, the builder’s home was found to be dangerously unsafe. The problem? An electrical circuit board that contained bad fuses had been installed over a large expansion wire. This, the complaint states, caused the current from a transformer to overload the fuses and ultimately fried them out.
Another home builder lawsuit involves a contractor and several electrical subcontractors.
The contractors were building a high-rise condo and placing a series of 24-volt transformers in the core of the building. The lawsuit says that the electrical contractors, who did not have the required training for the job, tried to hide this fact from the condo board. When the project was completed, there were many dangerous andelectrocuted power lines.
A Mansfield, OH home builder named Morris and Dotrice owes almost $ 58 million to different electrical contractors. The couple is being sued by one of their subcontractors because it took several months for the sub-contractor to return from vacation and find that several of his workers had been improperly performing work. This worker had left the site several days before the work began. Eventually, the workers performed badly and caused severe injuries to several workers. One worker died.
An article in the Lake County News-Miner indicates that the lawyer representing Morris and Dotrice is being represented by a local six-figure law firm. The plaintiffs in this lawsuit are seeking more than a billion dollars in damages. It appears that in this case, a settlement may already have been reached and a court date has been set. The news report does not indicate who will be paying the legal fees to the Mansfield couple.
