BOCA RATON — The homeowners association at Boca Bridges — a relatively new
community of million dollar homes on Lyons Road north of Clint Moore, is suing
an operating unit of builder GL Homes for mass construction defects and
deficiencies. The suit pits “Boca Bridges Homeowners Association” against “Boca
Raton Associates VII, LLLP” which is an operating unit of builder and marketer
GL Homes — also responsible for The Bridges, Seven Bridges, Lotus, Dakota, the
Valencia communities, and the under-construction “Lotus Edge.” GL Homes
routinely builds communities under names using the “Boca Raton Associates”
title, followed by a number.
The 157-page
complaint, just filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court,
alleges, “incorrect or incomplete work, poor workmanship, or
design errors. non-compliance with plans, specs, shop
drawings, manufacturer standards, industry standards, field
changes or substitutions from permitted plans and specs,
including items acceptable by code but of a lower quality or
reduced life expectancy. Non-compliance with applicable
building codes.”
Among the scores of alleged problems all outlined in the
suit which you can read, in its entirety, below: blistering
of the clubhouse roof; signs of ponding water on the
clubhouse roof; signs of water intrusion in the electrical
room at the clubhouse; cracks on the water feature of the
main entrance; cracks on windows of clubhouse, gatehouse,
duct framing; cracks on the ceiling of the clubhouse and on
the pool deck; delaminated stucco on multiple bridges in the
community.
Improperly installed air conditioning unit over electrical
equipment in the ‘pro shop’; condensation observed in the
sports complex; improper pipe insulation in the mechanical
room; exposed wiring in multiple places in public
facilities; pipe leaks; pavers improperly installed
throughout the community; landscaping not thriving; sod not
thriving. |

The suit seeks in excess of the statutory minimum of
$50,000, but the value of the alleged deficiencies could top $1M. No
immediate response from GL Homes, its contractors or operating units was
processed by the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts as of the morning of July
3, 2024.
