[Catrina Markwalter]

I have not had to deal with it directly, but see the attached case from South Carolina.

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Condominium Conversions

Pardon the interruption and happy Tuesday.

Has anyone run into a situation where you had a general contractor who contracted to build apartments and completed construction.  The plans, specifications and permits were for apartments.  However, 4 years after construction the owner converted them into condominiums with no additional construction work?  Basically just did a paper conversion.  Association is now suing for breach of Fla. Stat. 718 condominium warranties 9 years after original construction of the apartments.   God bless America...

Looking forward to hearing from the group.  Thank you!
