From the Courant.com:

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is suing modular home builder Bowden Development and company owner Lloyd L. Bowden of Old Saybrook over the alleged shoddy construction of “uninhabitable and unsafe” homes sold between 2004 and 2006.

Blumenthal said he is seeking $500,000 in reimbursements for homeowners who had to correct problems with homes built by Bowden.

“The failings included cracked walls, unsecure foundations, water damage, cut corners, missed deadlines, and often additional unauthorized charges and abandoned construction, particularly when consumers complained,” Blumenthal said.

The suit alleges Bowden and his company “failed to bolt modular home pieces together and to foundations, failed to install required roof and other supports and committed numerous other serious construction flaws, leaving the houses structurally unsound and unsafe.” The suit alleges that Bowden later refused to do any work or communicate with the homeowners who complained about the problems.
