All-American Homes
A lawsuit has been filed and is seeking class action status against the modular home builder alleging homes built outside Kentucky do not meet state building codes. The suit was filed in Federal Court in Lexington on behalf of hundreds of owners of All-American Homes in Kentucky.
The lawsuit alleges All-American Homes have consistently used building methods that do not comply with Kentucky building codes, used deceptive business practices, and violated the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act. The lawsuit also names the Kentucky office of Housing, Building and Construction, which relies on third-party inspectors to ensure modular homes constructed out of state meet Kentucky building codes, as a defendant. The case claims the state failed to ensure that a third-party inspector, that was supposed to keep tabs on All-American Homes, was actually inspecting the modular homes and had certified Kentucky building inspectors on staff.
Modular homes are built in sections in factories, transported and then reassembled on site, a construction process called an industrialized building system. A third-party inspector, paid for by the modular-home builder but approved by the state, then inspects the homes to ensure quality control and compliance with state building codes before they are placed on site.
