Bill Summary
For legislation relative to construction defect claims by condominium owners. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws to extend the statute of limitations for construction defect claims by condominium owners. Specifically, it adds condominiums to the existing law that allows for a 3-year statute of limitations for actions related to construction deficiencies in public improvements. Additionally, it provides specific timelines for when such claims can be brought, including a limitation of 6 years after the later of the Declarant Control Termination Date (when the condominium association is controlled by unit owners rather than the developer), the opening of the improvement for use, or substantial completion of the condominium. The bill applies retroactively to all existing condominium master deeds, declarations of trust, and bylaws.
