The convergence of condominium law and construction defect law and litigation is not something to be dabbled in, but rather takes decades to master. Practical experience and knowledge gained from decades of resolving, settling, litigating and trying condominium construction defect cases allows an experienced condominium construction defect attorney to guide clients with certainty and without having to re-creating the wheel at every turn. When faced with a construction defect matter, some condominium general counsel overlook claims such as violation of the CPPA, and instead, to focus solely on the “DC Warranty Against Structural Defects” contained in the DC Condominium Act.
