Connecticut AG Sues Builder For Allegedly Leaving Homes "Unfinished, Uninhabitable and Unsafe"

From a July 23, 2008 news release from the Connecticut Attorney General's Office:

• Attorney General Richard Blumenthal [...] announced he is suing Essex modular home builder Bowden Development TLI, LLC and its owner Lloyd L. Bowden of Old Saybrook for construction so shoddy that it endangered consumers and cost them about $500,000 to fix.

***

• Blumenthal said of the lawsuit's allegations, "This developer endangered his customers, failing to bolt roofs to walls and install vital column supports, leaving the structures unsafe and unsound. These mistakes could have been fatal, collapsing roofs or walls, injuring or even killing families. The developer left these homes unfinished, uninhabitable and unsafe -- because he was unqualified and unscrupulous. The failings included cracked walls, unsecure foundations, water damage, cut corners, missed deadlines -- and often additional unauthorized charges and abandoned construction, particularly when consumers complained."
