(relatively) new house build with continual repair needs
I purchased a new construction SFH in Florida about 3 years ago. It had a 1 year warranty. Since it's come out of warranty (of course), a continual stream of issues have come up that need repair. Many of these are indicative of a sloppy and rushed build, including:
-closet shelving crashing to ground 2x
-garage door bracket falling off
-septic tank bubbling up through ground and not capped right
-window leaks
-ac fan going out
-dishwasher motor going out
I've asked my property manager who says it definitely is above average the number of problems I've had. Since purchased, this builder also is being sued for not delivering on contracted houses.
The property has appreciated quite a bit, so it's made the cash outflow for repairs easier to stomach, but I'm wondering if there is any recourse I have with the builder or anyone else involved in the sale/transaction.
Thank you!
