Bill Summary

Relative to construction defect claims by condominium owners. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts law to extend the statute of limitations for construction defect claims by condominium owners. Specifically, it allows condominium associations to bring tort actions for construction defects within three years after the cause of action accrues, or within six years after the later of the "declarant control termination date" (when the condominium's governing board is no longer controlled by the developer), the opening of the improvement to use, or the substantial completion of all condominium phases. This change applies retroactively to all existing condominium documents, regardless of when they were recorded.
