Hello everyone,
We have purchased a condominium in a newly built development. During the second inspection, we noticed one plank in the hardwood floor that looks different. It is much darker than the rest of the floor. In addition, the entire surface is smooth (like polished), but this one plank feels rough.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is there anything that can be done without having to replace the plank? Otherwise, what would be the legitimate steps for the builder to take for corrections?
We recorded the issue in the inspection report as follows: Living room floor has a rough surface.
I am attaching a photo – I hope it is clear.
I hope you can help us a bit. Thank you very much in advance.

One of the floorboards could be sanded and oiled/varnished just like the others.
Provided that this is really the difference and not a completely different type of wood used. Sanding? Not really with a 3mm (1/8 inch) wear layer. There would hardly be anything left.
