Tribunal allows new home warranty appeal in part, awarding $1,020 for Building Code violations.
The Applicants appealed a decision by Tarion Warranty Corporation denying their warranty claims for several alleged defects in their new home, which had suffered fire damage prior to possession.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal reviewed claims regarding a wood frame sill plate overhang, smoke stains, missing anchor bolts, a brick overhang, and malfunctioning garage doors.
The Tribunal found that the sill plate overhang and the brick overhang violated the Ontario Building Code and constituted warranted defects, ordering Tarion to pay $1,020.00 for their repair.
The remaining claims, including a request for reimbursement of engineering fees, were dismissed for lack of evidence or lack of jurisdiction.
