It's a condo - so likely this install is over the concrete floor ...


You should get an expert opinion as to exactly what is happening - call a home inspector or something - but get it in writing what the cause is ... regardless of whether or not you're technically covered by anyone's warranty, you always have the option of suing - especially apropos considering the max amount is now considerably higher in small claims court.

Another thing to do is find out if anyone else in your condo is suffering from the same problem - there is always strength in numbers

That looks like a SOLID hardwood floor , which shold NOT be installed with glue over concrete because of their degree of expansion .Only engineered , and parquet floors are suitable for this application .Condo doesn't automatically mean concrete subfloor . I've seen many cases where they laid plywood over concrete . Would be interesing to find this out so we don't play Holmes on homes :)
