Bill > H4605

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to extend the statute of limitations for construction defect claims by condominium owners. Specifically, it allows condominium associations to file tort actions for damages arising from construction deficiencies or negligence within three years after the cause of action accrues, or up to six years after the "declarant control termination date" (when the condominium's governing board is comprised of a majority of unit owners rather than the developer's appointees). The bill applies retroactively to all existing condominium master deeds, declarations of trust, and bylaws, regardless of when they were recorded.
