Why is no one filing a federal laws suit against this "builder". Americans with disabilities Act is a Federal Program.

[@purplepill2024]

Cause almost every state has the same laws regarding contracted work - as long as work is "done", then it's a civil dispute and not a criminal one. For most of the video, it was just shoddy work (e.g. not caulking inside correctly) is not a crime. And even then "shoddy" is subjective. The only one where the homeowner (or government) can probably pursue is the mold at 4:31, as that's a health hazard. No contractor can in good faith say mold during construction (and left alone) is normal and that would fail an inspection every time.

[@purplepill2024]

@@roboticunclephil - ADA doesn't cover shoddy work. Not caulking if it's just for aesthetic won't kill someone.

[@Jcreek201]

@@purplepill2024 Nobody mentioned anything about criminal penalties, the OP stated they should file a lawsuit... that's civil. Claiming the mold is the only thing the homeowners can pursue is nonsense. They could definitely file breach of contract lawsuits over shoddy work. The fact is though, lawsuits are extremely expensive and when you're the little guy fighting against a company with deep pockets (or a dad who's a bully of an attorney) you're at an extreme disadvantage. They can use endless stall tactics just to rack up your attorney's fees and scare you into giving up. Generally, unless you can find an attorney willing to take your case pro bono or on contingency, the risk is not worth the reward.

[@purplepill2024]

@@Jcreek201, what you said is completely false. Most jurisdiction considers issue between a contractor and you - a civil matter, as long as "work" has been done that satisfies local codes. However, it becomes a criminal case when negligence is involved. Letting mold grow and not handling it is one such example, as mold can be toxic. A contractor can convince a jury of 12, bubbling on the floor is cause he's a crappy contractor and not good at his job, but bubbling isn't harmful. But no one will be convinced that mold isn't harmful and can be left alone.

Ripped-off customers who received letters from the builder's father/lawyer should report the lawyer to the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC). That tribunal will investigate the lawyer and he may be disciplined for his wrongdoing by sending threatening letters on behalf of a crook. The ARDC complaint will remain on his record and will be able to be seen by anyone who Googles the attorney's name.

[@TheBodrey]

These shyster builders that operate unethically don't deserve to be in business in the first place.

What was in your contracts? The last two homes we bought were modulars. We signed contracts so we didn't have to pay a penny more than what was in the contract. We got detailed plans and specs. We withheld 10% until any issues were corrected and both times, all issues were corrected to our satisfaction. Of course there will be issues. You're dealing with workers who may or may not be experienced but issues should be corrected. The first modular is now 23 years old and just as sturdy as the day we bought it. Modular is the only way we will buy a home because I've heard too many horror stories of people ending up way over budget. I can't believe this guy is getting away with this! We had our attorney go over both contracts before closing also.
