Yes, you can sue the developer, however it may be a lost cause if the developer has already finished the development. Generally, each development is a new and different corporation and you can only sue the entity which you had a contract with. If you get a judgment against the developer, it may have no assets and thus be totally uncollectable. You should review this matter with an attorney who can provide advice on your legal rights and remedies.
