We of course brought this to the builder's attention and he advised that this is a result of the new Sumter County code wherein the vents are placed in a different location as opposed to units built earlier.
He said that they have had over 200 complaints on this particular issue and that they are trying to do a fix. After a month or so we called Home Warranty and heard the same story.
To date we have not heard from anyone and when we return to our villa later this month we will again pursue the problem. Are their any Forum members having the same issue or heard about it?
Has anyone who has this problem has complained to Sumter County elected officials? If they changed the building code in a way that negatively affects homeowners, maybe they could/would change it back if they knew there were hundreds of complaints about it.
