Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:This complaint was not just in reference to the HVAC unit but multiple issues which still have not all been resolved** *** still has yet to ever make contact with me by phone or through email despite me emailing the CEO and emailing multiple other members of their company for resolutionThe site maintenance manager is the only person we can get in touch withThe HVAC company One Heat and Air has replaced the furnace, the ventalation system and is scheduled to come and add more return vents to the unit and balance the air flowThe company did provide Sin compensation for the overages in electric due to the HVAC unit being installed improperly and mildew/water build up within the units ventalation and plenumTo say these repairs were done due to a mishap in sizing is a gross understatementIt was an installation error that should have been recognized earlier not months after calling and more thatn visits to our home for diagnosisThe repairs are almost complete and we have seen an improvement in the air quality/smell of the homeWe will not be able to actually test the unit to ensure it is working properly until this summer when the temperature increases as it is December 12thHowever the mildew smell has discipated from the home. The carpet was replaced the day before Thanksgiving and the vendor did an excellent job. Outstanding repairs still being waited on:Dishwasher is leaking and still sticking when we try to close itIt has now caused damage to the side of the cabinetI believe this is water damage? We are still waiting for someone to come out.Trim has not been reattached to dishwasher from previous visitDue to the time we have waited to have the dishwasher fixed I believe there is more damage and this trim will ultimatley be useless as the whole side of the cabinet is now coming off and warping. Backdoor has still not been fixed we are waiting on thatThey attempted to fix it but damaged it during attempted repair and frame is split. Gap in between wall and shower ceiling has not been fixed ( Dry wall was cut to shortit was taped and painted over to disguise error, with use the moisture caused the tape to fail)New issue: warranty being placed on garage entrance wood door which is stickingThe door actually stuck shut requiring us to go out the garage (car) door and through the front door to unstick it and re-enter.It seems to me the house was built and is slowly being rebuilt which I think is a silly way to do businessI still do not understand why a ** *** representative has never contacted us regarding the issues we have had. I cannot accept the businesses response because all repairs have not been made to the homeWe are still waiting. Regards,

Mr *** Most of our homes are started before they are sold, therefore building them in the order they are sold is not possible. All homes are built on a schedule starting with the foundation through Certificate of Occupancy. Homes started first will be finished first unless there is a special item a customer wants in a home that has to be ordered and delays the build. We understand that you may need a home finished prior to our ability to finish the home. If this home is not going to satisfy your needs, we are willing to let you cancel your contract and obtain a full refund of your earnest funds. Please let me know if you would like this option THANKS *** * *** *** *** * *** *** D.RHorton Inc., "America's Builder" *** ** *** ** *

The information provided by DrHorton is not accurateWe have been being told for the last couple months that we needed to provide dates in which to have them come in to resolve outstanding issuesWe provided have provided those dates, took time off work and the dates came and gone with little to no work being completed. #We still have tape on the walls left from closing.#They came out and burn the driveway pits our still visuable and cracking is occurring on the sides of the drivewayWarranty request re-submitted. #We have been hearing that the fan would be corrected for months.#When purchased the property sod was to be laid property line to property line and that did not happen we are missing a line of sod in the back and a line on the side. #The wires have been hanging there since initial walk through. ###When drapes are moving on windy days and the windows are difficult to open and close it is unacceptable. #Been sitting in garage for weeks or more along with other product that was sent incorrectlyWe are not a storage facility. #Superintendent does know about the ticking and we were promised they would correct the issue since it's a known issue in this layoutThere was never any mention of not being covered under warranty.#We still have tape on our staircase from where they cut a whole in wall without any paintSee attached picture. #Spoke with *** from the manufacture of the April Air system and he said the system that was put into the home is not large enough for the square footage of the homeSee attached pictures of the mold on the filters requiring changing every 2-weeks.#Been told no date for completion.#Was told that the flooring was not allocated in the location prior to installation which has caused the larger gaps in the floorSee attached pictures.#No one wants to take ownership of this issue. #Been in garage for weeks or more without date for completing. We expected resolution that is reasonable for us as the customer for the outstanding flooring, April Air, Lights and Windows and a date for outstanding issues to resolved.

Customer was contacted and are waiting and At this time we are in the process of resolving the situation *** David LGude Vice President of Construction Tampa/Sarasota Division D.RHorton Inc., "America's Builder"

In October 2015, the buyers Mrand Mrs*** entered into an agreement to purchase the model at Camp Chapel. At the time of the contract the buyer was made aware that there were additional homes to sell and that we would need to utilize the existing model they purchased.
When they signed the contract, the also signed an addendum agreeing that the closing on the model home would not occur until days after the last home sold in the community. Since they purchased the Company has continued to market and sell homes and only have homes left to sell. Also during this time the buyers went through the loan application process per the contract. During the loan application process they were informed that they would need to sell and close on two homes in order to secure a loan. Also, as a condition of the loan process, an appraisal was ordered and performed on the model home. The buyers were informed by our sales representative and the mortgage company that the value came in less than the sales price Per the sales contract the seller can chose to lower the price ad close the home or to not lower the price and cancel the sales agreement and refund the buyer’s EMD. As the Seller still has homes to sell, we had yet to make a decision on how we would proceed. The sales rep who sold the home was moved to a new location in April but was still taking care of his backlogAs our last two homes will be completed in July, we have decided to work with the buyer and allow them to close earlier and not have them wait the days after our last saleI have placed two calls to the buyer and have yet to hear back from them as of today. I will make another attempt today. We plan to send the buyer a settlement letter to let them know the good news. We really were not aware that they had to get out of the agreement or wanted to get out until the recent letter. We want to work with the buyer to get them into the home they agreed to and patiently waited for. *** *** DR Horton - Capital Division Vice President Sales and Marketing *** *** *** *** ***

In reference to the above, we have instructed the roofing company to go back out to the home and inspect the flashing in this area. We plan to have a representative onsite to make sure corrective actions have been made and the problem rectified. We are waiting on a schedule date
