If they kept the building at a correct temperature then the pipe would not have failed. Tarion says floods are unavoidable but I think that means natural floods due to rain, etc. It's my thought that it was the end of march, and they didn't expect a cold snap so they didn't have the heat on.
If they are claiming that it's unavoidable does that mean Tarion has already determined that it is, or is that something that can be disputed? It's just so disheartening that this could happen with such highly regarded builders and developers What is a good way to make sure that the building is being properly fixed? It's not the purchaser's cost to fix now but in the future if this causes other issues it will be, so I'm very curious and anxious.
I'm wondering the same. I may just ask my lawyer to see what can be done to protect homeowners from further issues, although I doubt there's much that can be done.
Also, I don't know how it works with Tarion, but wouldn't it be in their best interest to claim this was an 'unavoidable delay' as that means they don't have to pay owners the delayed closing fee of $150/day to a max of $7500?
I think owners should be compensated somehow. For me, my mortgage rate will expire by the time these units close and of coarse, rates have increased considerably since I booked my rate. Other homeowners may have sold their homes with the intention of moving in in May and may now need to rent.
