HONOLULU (AP) \u2014 A woman who purchased a vacant lot in Hawaii was surprised to find out a $500,000 house was built on the property by mistake. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s now mired in legal wrangling over the mix-up. <\/p>\n

Annaleine \u201cAnne\u201d Reynolds purchased a one-acre (0.40-hectare) lot in Hawaiian Paradise Park, a subdivision in the Big Island\u2019s Puna district, in 2018 at a county tax auction for about $22,500.<\/p>\n

She was in California during the pandemic waiting for the right time to use it when she got a call last year from a real estate broker who informed her he sold the house on her property, Hawaii News Now reported. <\/p>\n

Local developer Keaau Development Partnership hired PJ\u2019s Construction to build about a dozen homes on the properties the developer bought in the subdivision. But the company built one on Reynolds\u2019 lot.<\/p>\n

Reynolds, along with the construction company, the architect and others, are now being sued by the developer. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of fingers being pointed between the developer and the contractor and some subs,\u201d Reynolds\u2019 attorney James DiPasquale said.<\/p>\n

Reynolds rejected the developer\u2019s offer for a neighboring lot of equal size and value, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would set a dangerous precedent, if you could go on to someone else\u2019s land, build anything you want, and then sue that individual for the value of it,\u201d DiPasquale said.<\/p>\n

Most of the lots in jungle-like Hawaiian Paradise Park are identical, noted Peter Olson, an attorney representing the developer. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy client believes she\u2019s trying to exploit PJ Construction\u2019s mistake in order to get money from my client and the other parties,\u201d Olson told The Associated Press Wednesday of her rejecting an offer for an identical lot. <\/p>\n

She has filed a counterclaim against the developer, saying she was unaware of the \u201cunauthorized construction.\u201d <\/p>\n

An attorney for PJ\u2019s Construction told Hawaii News Now the developer didn\u2019t want to hire surveyors.<\/p>\n

A neighbor told the Honolulu news station the empty house has attracted squatters. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
