Condominium Water Problems

One judge commented that construction defect litigation around condominium complexes is as “common as crabgrass,” and this story certainly strengthens that observation. Watch this curious case where a buyer was fully aware of the litigation surrounding water intrusion challenges at this particular complex, bought the unit anyhow (at a discount), then sued the broker when the condo experienced – wait for it – water problems! How do you think that turned out? (Adapted from Pagano v. Krohn, 60 Cal.App.4th 1)
