We live in a 1920s 2 story condo building in Georgia. We have already sued the developed who converted the building into condos and got a settlement years ago for other issues. However, we recently discovered that there are foundation problems that he knew about and did a horrible job "repairing."

I'm wondering what our options are. Could we sue the City for signing off on the renovation work? Do we go after the developer again? Do we go after the company that did the "repair" work during the renovation?

The work we now need to do will likely cost $50,000, which means we'll need to take a loan out to help cover the up front costs. It would be great if some or all of this could be paid for by the developer/repair company/city.

If any of you have gone through something like this before, please let me know what advice you can offer.

Thanks.

Alison,
To me this question is a legal question more than asking and getting some information. Go to a lawyer, a good one, and get it sorted out. Any suggestions I would have as how to do, would be useless. IMHO

Georgia is actually a state that has a Matching Grant Program. I know Savannah, Augusta and Power Springs has it. Check with your city/town and see if they have one in place. If so attend one of their seminars (lots to do for an application) and if the HOA can come up with 1/2 they will match the funds for the other 1/2. Just a thought.

Hi Gloria,

I looked on the internet, but couldn't find anything regarding this. Do you have a website that you could refer me to?

Thanks,

Google "Georgia Neighborhood Matching Grants Fund" from there you will see many towns/cities that have them. Here in NC not all towns/cities have them, Charlotte does and we have done them in th past and are in the process of doing one now for one of our communities.

It is quite detailed and time consuming, so I encourage you to attend their seminar on "How To". Good Luck
