Chulak & Associates represents homeowner associations and property owners throughout California, including the communities listed below, on a contingency basis in dealing with builders who are responsible for defective construction, including mold infestations. Generally, we can meet or beat the contingent fee percentages proposed by our competitors. We regularly advance all or some of the costs of litigation including expert fees.
Associations and property owners should know their legal rights and not be misled or intimidated when attempting to seek redress for construction defects. The attorneys with Michael T. Chulak & Associates are available to assist you in this regard. We are homeowner / consumer advocates. There will be no charge for the initial consultation. Many homeowner associations and homeowners in California new home developments as well as condominum conversions are finding that the common areas of their communities and their individual homes have construction defects which are not attributable to the lack of ordinary maintenance. These construction defects include roof leaks, deck leaks, mold infestations, deteriorating streets, improper drainage, structural failure, inadequate soil preparation, faulty electrical wiring, insufficient insulation and sound proofing, inadequate equipment, cracked slabs, peeling paint, Chinese Drywall and other defects too numerous to list. The construction defects can be caused by poor design, poor construction, poor choice of materials or defective materials. See Common Construction Defects, Construction Defect Due Diligence Checklist, Construction Defect Glossary, and Common Construction Abbreviations.
Nearly all CC&Rs impose upon homeowner associations the duty to maintain and repair the common areas. Legally, this duty
includes paying for the correction of defective conditions, including those set forth above. These repairs, which can be quite
expensive, can be paid for in several ways:
First, the association can pay for the cost of repairs out of its reserves. However, in most cases the reserves are
insufficient.
Second, the amount required to pay the cost of repairs can be obtained by specially assessing the individual homeowners or
borrowing funds.
Third, the association may seek redress from the builder who in many cases is legally responsible for the cost of repairs.
