Part Four Still Selling
In
spite of the elevated levels of radon, people are still buying units at
Latta Pavilion.
Allen
Tate's Dilworth office has sold three units in Latta Pavilion since the
radon was found. "We have not worked with any potential buyers who
elected not to purchase in this community, based on this knowledge,"
says Jane Richey, the office branch manager.
Kindbom
says Tate has been discussing the radon issue since it was discovered at
Latta Pavilion. She says radon tests are not routine in
Charlotte
, but adds it's always better to be safe than sorry.
"It's
a fixable problem that's not terribly expensive," Kindbom says.
"My hope is that once this is corrected it will be a nonfactor."
Grubb
says his company has moved quickly to try to resolve the issue.
"We're not trying to hide our head in the sand."
He'd
like to move forward with a mitigation plan that includes the fan
installation in each unit over the next couple of months. "We'll have
to work through whether this is a design issue, construction materials or
an engineering issue. That part won't be fun."
