The Naumann Law Firm Recovers $1,825,000 in Damages for Construction Defects Within a Homeowners Association
SAN DIEGO, August 2, 2022 — The following is being issued by The Naumann Law Firm, PC.
The Naumann Law Firm, PC announced today it has recovered $1,825,000 for a coastal condominium project in Oceanside, California.
William H. Naumann and Loren K. Shiu of The Naumann Law Firm represented View Pointe Owners Association comprised of 33 attached condominiums and a subterranean parking garage in Oceanside, California. The project was initially constructed and operated as rental units. The original developer sold the project to a new owner who then renovated the units and sold them as condominiums. The Association brought an action against the seller/converter of the project for various construction defects arising from the renovation work. The defects included water intrusion from balcony decks and failed waterproofing in the parking garage.
The Association’s construction experts performed a thorough investigation including inspections and testing of the balcony decks and established some renovation repairs were improper. The Association contended the converter and subcontractors were responsible for the defects. Accordingly, the Association was entitled to recover not only the cost of repair but also the investigative costs expended to document and develop repair recommendations to address the defective conditions.
The converter’s insurance carrier originally determined most of the claimed damages were not covered under the policy. However, Mr. Naumann and Mr. Shiu’s persistence combined with their knowledge of insurance coverage resulted in the carrier ultimately reversing its position and agreeing to settle.
Mr. Naumann and Mr. Shiu attended multiple mediation sessions and recovered $1,825,000 for the Association.
