Subject: Growing concern over the structural reliability of the Halston Model
Reference: My home at Christenson Crossing Village Homes, 127 Christenson Court
Dear Mr. Rotter,
As I have related to your company before, we have been very pleased with our home purchase
and enjoy the design and convenience of our home. We finalized our purchase on 11/30/98 and
moved in 12/15198. After a very unfortunate "walk through inspection" whi�h I brought to your
attention before, the few times I have had a question or concern yow company has always been
responsive or informative.
However, I have become increasingly concerned with the number of "Halston Model" homes in
the project which have had major problems and subsequent damage to their roofs, ceilings and
interior. Over the last couple of years, I have seen workmen on the roofs of several "Halston
Model" homes, and so I began wondering what was going on. Then in the last week of October
when I went to the Homeowner Association's Annual Meeting, I was shocked to find that of the
11 Halston Model homes in this Rottlund development, that 9 have had major damage and
problems with the roofs leaking, water and ice backing up because of a faulty architectural
design in the roof in the "saddle" area. The damage appears sometimes in the garage/kitchen
wall area, sometimes in the foyer area and occasional in light fixtures and other places. I also
understa.nd, you have already made structural changes and remedies to several homes already
and others are in the process of comptaint and negotiation with you. This was all discussed by
members of the board and other homeowners. I did not get names, dates and numbers, as I am
sure your company records have all the necessary detail. I just want to go on record as having
officially notified you of my concern, and will hold you and your company responsible for any
problems that currently exist, or will exist in the future because of a poorly designed product,
architecturally, structurally, or otherwise in building of this home. While I have not seen any
interior problems so far, I am also aware from other experiences, that these things show up at the
most inopportune times, kind of like living with a time bomb in your house.
I would appreciate a reply from you in writing, clarifying all the problems with the "Halston
Model" home, and what you are doing to protect the innocent buyers. Warranties are one thing,
structural and architectural errors are certainly another
