leaky homes crisis
The leaky homes crisis is an ongoing construction and legal crisis in New Zealand in a number of timber framed buildings constructed during 1994 to 2004 that suffered from weathertightness problems. The problem primarily manifested itself in decay to timber framing which in extreme cases made buildings structurally unsound. Some buildings became unhealthy to live in due to moulds and spores which developed within the damp timber framing. The repairs and replacement cost that could have been avoided were estimated in 2009 to be approximately $11.3 billion.
== Factors ==
The Building Act 1991, which came into effect about 1994, changed buildings controls from a prescriptive system to a more self-regulated regime. In addition, the Government dropped the apprentice training system for builders and the related building trades. Some developers and builders knowingly or carelessly constructed buildings with numerous faults and short-cuts. An architectural design trend towards Mediterranean-style houses with complex roofs, plastered exterior walls, internal decks and small or no eaves also factored in.
Some local authorities were later found to have issued Building Consents based on insufficient documentation, failed to carry out inspection of the work during construction and issuing code completion certificates for buildings which were later found to have leaking problems. Consequently some councils now share significant financial responsibilities with the builders (which in many cases have closed or otherwise removed themselves from liability) and the owners.〔 Court cases have generally assigned around one third of the financial responsibility to local authorities. A 2013 Supreme Court case involving the Auckland City Council extended the liability of local bodies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Court gives hope to leaky home owners )〕
