DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! DO YOUR RESEARCH before buying a home from this company!!!
Mid City Development (from what I can tell) is a 'front' for JBC Construction, (aka JB Cumby Construction) owned by the same people, Mid City is the sales side of the construction company, they only sell homes built by JB Cumby and that's the problem! Because JBC builds shit! Albeit, nice looking shit, but shit none the less! Our condo in J. Bouldin Residences has had nothing but MAJOR issues since we moved in. This building is Brand new construction and has flooded twice due to a poorly built drainage system, and a roof that can't seem to handle more than a few drops of rain! Then there is the PISS POOR construction on the inside of the units. Cracked tiles in the bathroom, a non working brand new dish washer in the kitchen, deep scratches in the flooring and a paint job that looks like it was performed by a blind man. And it's not just my home, almost everyone unit in this building has had similar and worse issues!!!
Our entire building and all the home owners have been dealing with JBC Construction and Mid City Development for over a year trying to get ALL these warranty issues taken care of, so we've all had to deal with their workers coming in and out of our homes for months. The team that does the warranty work are nice enough but the ownership of JBC Construction / Mid City Development is so void of values and doing what right by their costumers the guys doing the work have their hands tied-- the builder refuses to take any blame for the shoddy work. We are currently looking onto a class action lawsuit over the never ending issues with this property and during our investigations we discovered that some of the home owners at another one of the properties they built in Austin (1010 W. 10) have a lot of the same problems!
After doing A LOT of looking into JBC Construction and Mid City Development I'm starting to believe something fishy is going on, because their website lists several other properties and projects that are not real, or work has seemingly stopped on them-- another condo they are building is down the road from us and has not had anyone working on it for months, and public records show they have several major liens against them, BUYER be warned! DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! DO YOUR RESEARCH before buying a home from this company!!! Talk to current home owners to see how they feel about Mid City and JBC built homes. read more
