A Clark County District Court judge ruled this week in favor of developer Pulte Group, ordering a construction defect case involving dozens of Lake Las Vegas homeowners to move to arbitration. About 50 homeowners in the Del Webb Lake Las Vegas 55+ community are taking legal action against the developer, claiming faulty construction has caused their homes to crack and sink. Attorney Norberto Cisneros, who represents multiple homeowners, stated that the number of affected homeowners continues to grow. The homeowners and their HOA claim the soil their homes were built on was not properly compacted, causing problems throughout individual homes and common areas of the community. The judge enforced the arbitration clause citing the purchase agreements and the community's CC&Rs. Pulte Group shared a statement agreeing with the order to compel arbitration. Cisneros described the damage as severe for homes that are two and three years old.
