BEWARE OF KB’S DEALTO SELL YOUR HOME OR BUY IT BACK!
Home Owner Snake Bitten!

HOMES IN CREEKSIDE SUBDIVISION IN FLOOD PLAIN: It appears nearly 200 homeowners of the Creekside Subdivision, located in San Antonio are in the flood plain because Kaufman & Broad failed to complete a required drainage project.  Records indicate Kaufman & Broad did not disclose the problem to the buyers when they sold them the homes. When the Home Owners Association found out about the problem around April, 1999, they chose to utilize the associations’ funds to pay Mark Brown Engineering $25,000 to try and solve the problem.  Mark Brown Engineering is the same firm hired by Kaufman & Broad who performed the original engineering for the subdivision. When one board member was asked why Kaufman & Broad did not pay the engineer, their response was, “Kaufman & Broad refused.”
