Well, this is unfortunate to say the least, however, somehow, for it being in Puna, is not really surprising.
I can't imagine Hawaii County not being somewhat liable for this considering the news story's quote of them issuing permits. I'd say gross incompetence on the contractors, however.
Also, most big developers and/or architects SHOULD carry what is known as "Errors and Omissions" Liability insurance. But considering this is really the developers screw up even if the County has some liability, but the developer is the only one out the big bucks. I think they should be held accountable for their screw up.
At any event, do they have to disclose the poop on the floor if they manage to sell the house?
