Pennsylvania HB1147 provides remedies for residential building construction defects, requiring builders to repair defects within six months or face.
Pennsylvania HB1147 amends the state's construction code to establish remedies for residential building construction defects. Builders must repair or correct defects at no cost to the purchaser if the defect substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the residential building. If a defect is reported within two years of the building's delivery, the builder has six months to make the necessary repairs. If the builder fails to act within this timeframe, the purchaser can file a compliance action in court.
