Allegedly Flawed Homes’ Owners to Get $4 Million
A group of 91 homeowners won a $4-million settlement Friday in a lawsuit alleging shoddy workmanship during construction of their homes.
They alleged that J.M. Peters Co. and its parent firm, Capital Pacific Holdings of Newport Beach, used faulty building methods on $500,000 homes near Bushard Street and Atlanta Avenue.
“The homes had leaky windows, leaky wooden decks, cracked stucco and also structural problems,” said attorney Thomas E. Miller, who represented the homeowners.
The payout averaged more than $30,000 per owner. The firm could not be reached for comment.
