On Monday night (November 23, 2015), Denver City Council voted to approve the construction defect ordinance proposed by Mayor Hancock. The ordinance, which we wrote about when it was proposed last month, is intended to jump start condominium construction in Denver, which has stagnated under Colorado’s current construction defect law. The Colorado legislature tried and failed in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 sessions to pass legislative reform, and with the passage of this ordinance, Denver joins several other Colorado municipalities no longer waiting for the legislature to take action to spur condominium construction.
