Of the 25 or so times the A/C systems have malfunctioned since 2013, this one has a bigger issue besides not being properly installed – it has mold and moisture everywhere and is making this Lennar home toxic.
After the initial Lennar home inspection for the 80+ construction issues, I became ill. Besides the mosquitoes throughout the house, mold is within this A/C closet, the mold is on the main A/C system, the attic, and likely in other places that have encountered water intrusion. The A/C closet is only feet from my desk, and regardless of how or how often I clean the mold, it comes back to the air conditioning unit.
I’m sure you’ll get my confusion with the A/C inspection report from Lennar after you see these pictures and video.

Here are a few pictures of the mold and moisture all over the A/C unit upstairs:
Mold and moisture – and moisture streaks – are visible in the upstairs A/C handler. Notice the gap in the ceiling as well as the water damage at the ceiling. This is facing from the side of the unit looking back and up at the 6111 Yeats Manor Drive property located in the Westshore Yacht Club neighborhood.
This is the front of the A/C unit as soon as you open the closet door. Looks like black mold to me.
This is one side and front of the A/C unit in the closet. Notice the black mold is so thick you can see the roots.
Another part of the A/C handler – notice the black mold and moisture streaks going down the unit. The unit was not installed correctly by WCI Communities (now Lennar) at 6111 Yeats Manor Drive.

Front top of the A/C unit – notice the gaps in the ceiling at 6111 Yeats Manor Drive located in the Westshore Yacht Club neighborhood.
I have continued to get sick in both areas of the house. Other people who spend a significant amount of time in my Lennar home also report illnesses with similar symptoms.
Here is a short 45-second video showing the mold, moisture, moisture damage and the gaps at the A/C handler:
So now you will understand my surprise when the Lennar home inspection had this to say about this A/C unit:
The duct system and plenums are sealed properly and installed correctly showing no evidence of leaks or moisture.
No mention of anything that you are seeing here. None.
The Lennar home inspection report for 80+ construction issues makes no mention of the mold and moisture that is clearly visible in the pictures and videos you see here.
This can sum up a portion of the confusion and frustration, you can only imagine how I’ve felt for almost five years now. The construction issues started on almost day one.
Lennar agreed to replace both A/C units but has still not made the repair.
Note: As of the date of this publication, all the Lennar executives went silent and none of the construction repairs were ever made, including the promised replacements of two, improperly installed and defective A/C units causing extensive mold exposure and health issues.
