The developer’s warranty at The Perigon: what Florida implies, for how long, and how a claim is made

A new building comes with promises the brochure never prints, because the statute prints them. At The Perigon, here is what they cover, how long they last, and who enforces them.

This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

What The Law Implies

Fitness, by statute.

Florida’s condominium statute deems the developer to warrant that a new building is fit and merchantable for its intended use. For each residence at The Perigon, the warranty runs three years from completion of the building. For the roof, the structure and the main mechanical, electrical and plumbing elements, it runs three years from completion or one year after owners take control of the association, whichever is later, up to five years. Contractors and suppliers give implied warranties of their own; appliances follow the manufacturer’s.

What The Contract Adds

Or tries to narrow.

Purchase agreements often add a written limited warranty, a claims procedure, and exclusions such as hairline cracks in stone, normal wear and owner alterations. Some limit remedies or require arbitration. How the contract at The Perigon sits beside the statute is a question for counsel before signing, not after a leak.

The Perigon: ~73 homes · 2 to 4 bedrooms · private elevator entry to each residence.

Who Makes The Claim

Owner or association.

A defect inside one residence is the owner’s claim. A defect in the roof, the facade, the garage or the shared systems at The Perigon belongs to the association, which the developer controls until turnover; that is why the period runs past it. At turnover the developer hands over plans, warranties and records, and many owner boards hire an engineer to review the building before the periods run out.

The Perigon: The homes are as the dossier records.

Before Any Lawsuit

Notice first.

Florida requires written notice of a construction defect claim to the developer and the contractors before suit, with time to inspect and to offer a repair or a payment. Outer time limits on defect claims have been shortened in recent years, so the dates matter. Keep the closing, certificate of occupancy and turnover dates for The Perigon in one file. The desk keeps them for every building it covers and introduces counsel when a claim is in view.

The warranty starts with the building, not the closing. Write the dates down.
