    If the land was faulty, why did they issue building permits ! Bottom line is the city wants tax revenue and that’s all that matters !
  • @swedesam
    Why even have building inspectors at all if there is no accountability?
  • @bkinouye
    Beazer should have never developed the site once they received the soils report.
  • They shouldn't have built those homes on that soil in the first place, now these hard working people have to suffer. I hope the homeowners sue the hell out of beazer homes. They can't get away with this.

    “City inspectors are immune to lawsuits.” There’s your problem right there. Who’s to say the city aren’t being paid to pass these inspections and/or only doing a half-ass job.

    No one should never buy a beazer home, they need to be held accountable & sued for ignoring the soil test results..smh

    Stories like this make me really appreciate my home built back in the 1950's.
  • My great grandfather had a good sized construction company in the ‘60s but he decided to develop an area for housing, he didn’t put down the correct base for the foundations just to save money. He was eventually sued and lost literally everything. There are building codes in place for a reason now & even back than. Don’t mess with peoples homes, that’s their life.

    We have moved from predatory lending, to predatory developers.

    Prepare to hear more of these stories as time goes on. These houses are poorly built.

    I feel bad for this man and his family he works his butt off to get screwed by the state, city, contractors, and realotors

    That report and geo survey are nails in the coffin for Beazer. LAWSUIT.
  • @nahfamnope
    Sounds about right. I ALMOST bought a Beazer home a couple years ago but my gut told me to back out. Something felt super shady when the sales rep intentionally withheld details about the home I wanted to purchase… details if I’d known about up front, I would have shopped elsewhere. They kept my five percent deposit (which they DO NOT deserve 🙄), but MAN, I’m so glad I backed out of the contract.
  • That’s so horribly. I feel so bad for those families. This should it be happening to a new home. They need to sue the crap out of that builder.

    This is happening in pockets all over Las Vegas. I own a condo on E Lake Mead. In 2014 the entire building shifted but the HOA didn't think it was important. In 2018 the building started to sink into the ground. By the time the HOA took notice the building had fallen nearly 4 inches. Turns out there was a broken waterpipe under the foundation. The HOA paid for over 750k gallons of unaccounted for water and didn't think it was odd? Turns out the building foundation was not packed correctly. 2022, the HOA had the foundation lifted, but now refuses to pay for the damages to 4 units sustained for the years it was sinking. The builder is out of business, but the HOA is still culpable.

    Not only the company, but the city should be held responsible....
  • @chrism8180
    "the city inspector is immune from lawsuits"...then what incentive is there for them to do their job adequately?
