In East Hempfield Pennsylvania, rampant, glaring and non code compliant construction including narrow staircases, improper heating systems and sub standard electrical installations were passed by building code officials. When the residents demanded that D R Horton [DHI] be officially held accountable, DHI instead sued the County for interference with business relations. http://www.donaldhortonisacrook.info/Pennsylvania___S.html
Code compliance failure and DHI's refusal to warrant defective installations in both New Jersey and Florida was so bad that each City's mayor had to withhold DHI's performance bonds to compel them to perform repairs. http://www.drhortonhomelemon.info/In_The_News.html and (looking for the link).
In Yuba County California, DHI forged special inspections records for seismic hardware designed to anchor homes to their foundations during earthquakes and strong winds. The County affirmed that the records were forged and DHI predictably had "no comment."
In Clark and Henderson Counties in Nevada, DHI hired former building official Ron Ramsey to oversee their 'warranty' operations...... which seldom if ever find, or actually warrant, any defective construction. http://www.donaldhortonisacrook.info/Nevada.html
Independent third party researchers such as the always reliable J D Powers survey consistently finds DHI at the bottom of the construction quality and customer satisfaction barrel: http://www.drhortonhomelemon.info/ or http://www.jdpower.com/homes.
