Building Defects: What You Need to Know

Because homes are constructed with human hands, mistakes and imperfections are built right in.
  • There is no “lemon law” to protect buyers of defective homes. In truth, the American consumer has more protection when buying a refrigerator or a television than a new home.
  • In many states, houses are built by people who are unlicensed and unregulated.
  • Inspectors who pass on defective construction cannot be held legally responsible. Local governments and their representatives are immune from lawsuits over defective construction.
  • The law is stacked against the consumer: In most situations, a bankrupt builder can continue to build homes under a different name.

Inspections and warranties don’t always provide protection!

“Warranties are not intended to protect consumers. They’re designed to protect builders from open-ended liability.“

Ernie F. Roberts, Cornell University law professor

Home Maintenance Costs
