I can relate to this. My parents lived in a 22 story building that had water leaks throughout the entire building from construction defects. Until my mom literally got herself elected to be the president of the condo board nobody seemed to care that the building was broken. Many years later and a lawsuit against the developer, the building association and the owners were finally able to get compensated AND have the construction defects fixed.

There is no way you can financially prepare for the magnitudes of repairs needed in their case.
