Impact analysis
Homeowners could be looking at massive repair bills or plummeting property values if these structural issues turn out to be widespread.
Future homebuyers and current residents stand to gain from stricter, more transparent oversight that actually catches safety issues before they become disasters.
Current homeowners in affected developments might see their property values tank or face expensive, mandatory retrofits.
