County officials expect to demolish another seven unfinished homes at the Estates of Boynton Waters, where residents have complained for more than a decade about conditions at the development west of Boynton Beach.
In December 2019, the county tore down five homes that had no roofs after the builder’s own report questioned whether they could survive a high-wind event. Another seven homes have deteriorated to the point where county officials have the same concerns, resulting in the county awarding a contract to a demolition company that is in the process of obtaining permits.
The Post began reporting on the plight of residents at the gated community three years ago. Residents called on the county to enforce its building codes after complaining that the unfinished homes at the development were detracting from their quality of life. Estates of Boynton Waters is located less than a mile north of Boynton Beach Boulevard on the west side of Jog Road.
