HOMEOWNERS SEEK CLASS ACTION FOR MOLD

January 21, 2003

Dear All:

This is something we've been following for a while. I was tipped off by

City employees about two years ago that the City was allowing Arvida to hire

its own inspectors and it was going to be a disaster. City Building

Inspectors who went to the site saw numerous problems, but the Building

Official would take no action. I was contacted by some homeowners last

February and we started checking inspection records. One lady was

floored -- the inspector was the Arvida warranty person she'd been trying to

work with to get Arvida to correct problems (to no avail). We will continue

to follow this very closely. The real issue which needs to be focused on is

WHY the City allowed this to happen and why it continues to happen.

Sincerely,

Armstrong - President Florida Chapter

HomeOwners for Better Building (HOBB)
