This case is just the latest round of high-profile construction defects cases brought against homebuilders operating in Florida. In February, KB Homes, the sixth-largest homebuilder in the U.S. paid $23.5 million to the Florida attorney general’s office to settle claims of substandard work and deceptive business practices.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi alleged that KB also did not honor valid requests for warranty work, although it eventually paid in excess of $71 million to remedy water intrusion issues.
