New Construction - advice for dealing with builder and Tarion
I'm looking for some advice from anyone with experience with Tarion and my builder. I am currently living in a new condo unit at Concord Park Place, just moved in on the occupancy date back in the summer.
A couple of questions:
1. There are still a few items that are outstanding from the 30-day form I have submitted back in June. The date for them to resolve all the items have passed, and I have about a little over a week to pay the 282 dollars and request an inspection from Tarion. The builder's customer service agent has acknowledged the outstanding issues but had not been able to give me any precise dates when any tradespeople are coming in to fix the \issues. Should I just go ahead and just pay for the inspection? I understand I get the money back if Tarion agrees with me, but I want to make sure I'm not rolling the dice here.
2. After I moved in, I had noticed that there was very apparent buckling with some of the laminate flooring near the kitchen counter area. That area was perfectly fine during the PDI but when I moved in on the occupancy date, I noticed the damage to the flooring. I had reported it on my 30-day form, but the builder told me that the guidelines in "...Section 12.37 ... does indicate to wait until one full cooling and heating cycle" before they will fix anything related to flooring. However, I have doubts that this would fix it due to the severity of the buckling. If I do end up asking for an inspection, should I add in this item as well? How likely would they actually fix the flooring now vs a year later?
