A proposal intended to tackle “construction defects” and jumpstart the affordable condo market has begun its journey through the General Assembly.
House Bill 1272 — introduced on Tuesday and first reported by Colorado Politics last week — would require a third-party, independent inspector to make periodic checks during the condo construction process. The builder would be tasked with responding to problems identified by the inspector and fixing them.
Backers of the bill said this would elevate the standards to a higher level of quality and impose a higher burden of proof for that quality.
