Central Ohio Couple Wins 3.1 million dollar suit
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008Speaking of affordable housing a Licking County couple won their lawsuit against a local builder. The Cosners sued the builder in Franklin County because the builder is based in Franklin County. The home is in the Reynoldsburg area.
Due to water intrusion problems with the home, the home and all the families possesions were covered in mold.
The Columbus Dispatch said :
“The list of problems included a defective foundation, an undersized heating and air-conditioning system, leaking plumbing and buckling roof shingles.”
Sadly the Cosner family is not likely to see the money awarded by the jury anytime soon… both the Columbus Dipatch and the Channel 10 News said the builder will likely appeal.
Channel 10 TV News website said:
“But there is more than just one allegation against Maronda. The company has been the focus of 10 Investigates stories in the past for alleged deceptive practices and shoddy work, Aker reported.
Aker is a Channel 10 reporter. The TV station article online goes on:
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office confirmed that 52 complaints have been filed against Maronda in the past five years. “
