HOA president urges council to block bond release for D.R. Horton over construction defects
Summary
Greg Citar, president of Ares and Noble Point HOA, told the council D.R. Horton is seeking bond release despite outstanding safety and construction defects the HOA estimates at $175,000; he requested the council and building inspection staff withhold bond release until repairs are resolved.
Greg Citar, president of the Ares and Noble Point HOA, asked the council to intervene and not release a builder's bond for D.R. Horton while the HOA pursues repairs and legal remedies. Citar said the community — about four years old — has recurring safety issues, dead palm trees and waterproofing failures. He said the HOA has a 21‑page outside contractor report documenting problems and estimated repairs at $175,000.
Citar said he has involved attorneys and building inspection staff and requested that the council delay any bond release until the HOA's concerns are reviewed. Mayor and council members offered to have a councilmember meet with him after the meeting and staff accepted his offer to provide documentation to the building inspector.
