Berding & Weil has long fought to hold builders accountable for defective construction, as California law was designed to do.
A bill called AB 1903 is moving through the California Legislature, which would make California a shelter state for developers who build and sell defective homes. It's being pushed by the California Building Industry Association — the lobbying group for the state's largest homebuilding corporations. If it passes, the rights we used to help you would no longer exist to protect you in your next home – or anyone buying a new home in California. Bad builders would be handed near immunity for construction defects, and protected when they make band-aid, substandard “repairs.” Consumers would have no legal right to hold builders accountable!
Here's what AB 1903 would do:
In 2015, six young people died when a Berkeley balcony collapsed due to hidden dry rot caused by shoddy construction. The defect existed long before the collapse but was hidden from view and took years for the dangerous damage to manifest. Under AB 1903, there would have been no way to force repairs before the tragedy occurred.

Missed Opportunities in Applying California's Housing Law
Condominiums are a nice concept, but the reality has been less than perfect.
Once primarily an economic problem, hidden damage has become a much more severe problem—a matter of life and death.
