Builder Accused Of Falsifying Inspection Reports

Construction Halted On Dozens Of D.R. Horton Homes In Yuba County

Construction on many new Yuba County homes is on hold as officials look into allegations that inspection records were falsified by developer D.R. Horton.

Red signs ordering a work stoppage have been posted on at least 100 homes being built in the Plumas Lake area.

Building inspectors allege that the developer forged, falsified or changed inspection records on 64 homes.

Permits have been suspended for all D.R. Horton homes now being built in the county.

Subdivisions where work has stopped include Prairie Meadows, which has a sales office on Goldenstar Street, and Prairie Trails, which has a sales office on Snow Goose Street.

County authorities said work will not resume until the company can prove the homes meet building requirements.

Russ Brown, administrator for Yuba County, said it remains unclear who filled out the inspection reports.

D.R. Horton declined to comment on the county's claims on Tuesday, but was expected to issue a statement on Wednesday.
