Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

Re: property problems

Your first call should be to the municipality to have them check to see that Pulte is in compliance with their water retention and erosion control if construction is still in progress. In addition, contact Livingston County Drain Commission and see if they have investigated the water flow and retention procedures of Pulte on this project.

Re: property problems

It is possible to recover damages when someone performs construction or alters property near yours, which then causes damage to your property, such as a flooding. Like the other answer said, you would need to look at Pulte's building plans and see if they complied with what was approved by the city. Even if they did, the City could also be responsible for your damages if they are egregious enough. I would suggest contacting a lawyer that is familiar with building, construction, and real property/land disputes.

No- especially if you did not get notice of an administrtive meeting to discuss the effects of water run off, or drainage onto your property. This sounds like a trespass but would have to know additional details about the source and amount of water.
