Overview

TM served as the declarant, developer, and licensed general contractor for the

construction of the Community.

The Association is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the common areas

of the Community, including, but not limited to, the roofs, exterior walls and doors, paint,

landscaping, windows, drainage systems, and irrigation systems.

The Association has the duty to maintain the Community and make all appropriate

expenditures, where possible, for the upkeep and management of the Community.

Upon information and belief, TM controlled the Association before the unit owners,

other than the developer, were able to elect a majority of the board members of the Association.

The causes of action alleged herein concern matters of common interest to the

Association’s members, including matters affecting the Townhomes.

Defendants undertook to develop and construct the Community for sale to, and use

of, the general public, including the Association, its members, and their predecessors in interest.

Defendants failed to reasonably and adequately design, develop, and/or construct

the Townhomes and commons areas in accordance with the Florida Building Code, manufacturers’

recommendations or instructions, permitted plans and specifications, and applicable industry

standards.

As a direct result of the Defendants’ failures, the Association and its members have

suffered and continue to suffer damages proximately caused by defects and deficiencies in the

construction of the Community. Such defects and deficiencies include, without limitation:
