The Jerusalem District Court ruled that P.A. Development and Construction will pay 1.26 million shekels to 55 apartment owners in the "Savyonim Ramat Sharet" project due to uncorrected construction defects. The residents, who have lived in the building since 2019, sued the company for defects such as bad odors, elevator issues, and flooding in the parking lot, claiming that attempts to fix the defects were done unprofessionally. The company argued that the lawsuit was inflated, but the judge ruled that it lost its right to fix the defects due to ongoing failure to perform the repairs. Additionally, it was determined that the residents set conditions for the repairs, but they also contributed to the lack of corrections. The ruling highlights the loss of trust between the parties and assesses the awarded compensation as representing only a small part of the claimed amount. The company intends to review the ruling and decide on further actions.
