What is the name of your state? FL
Background: We live in a 60 house subdivision built by one developer and builder. Houses are 11-12 yrs old. We bought a resale from original owners 6 1/2 yrs. ago.
Just learned today that roofs(not just ours, but many, possibly all in here) have a serious code violation -- missing 30# layer and metal tags(?), yet list of inspections done during building phase shows metal roof inspection passed. Several neighbors have had or are having roof leak problems (all tile roofs). We had small leaks over garage 2-3 yrs ago. One neighbor just did complete reroof.
Also have major defects in design in master bath shower in all 2-story models. Shower pan leaks down to first floor. We had major damage behind walls and under floor. We are in the process of redoing entire shower.
Was told by an attrorney that the shower problem is a lost cause as the builder would drag it out in the courts forever. Was wondering ifd you think we have a case for the roofs since it is a blatant code violation. Whre do we start? Do we contact the developer, call county building & zoning, or find a good attorney.
Thanks for any help.
