PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

Pending before the Office of Administrative Hearings is the Arizona Registrar of Contractors’ (Registrar) Order of Summary Suspension, Order Consolidating Cases, and Notice of Promptly Instituted Proceeding (Order and Notice) against Precision Remodeling and Designs, LLC’s (Respondent) License No. 324506. Respondent’s license was the subject of numerous complaints filed with the Registrar in violation of Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) Title 32, Chapter 10, namely abandonment, poor workmanship, failure to obtain permits, and failure to provide a contract that complies with A.R.S. § 32-1158.

On or about May 1, 2020, the Registrar filed its Request for a Summary Suspension Hearing (Request). An expedited hearing was set for May 11, 2020, at the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH).

HEARING EVIDENCE

At the time of the hearing, Ms. Abbruzzio acknowledged that she was the responsible party for Respondent’s license. She admitted that all allegations set forth in the Order and Notice were valid and that the complaints filed were valid. Ms. Abbruzzio acknowledged that enforcement of action by the Registrar was proper.

Based on Ms. Abbruzzio’s admission to the allegations and the admission of the Registrar’s exhibits 1-60, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) adopts the Registrar’s allegations and makes a judgment as a matter of law that Respondent violated A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 10. The Registrar established a basis to revoke Respondent’s License No. 324506.

RECOMMENDED ORDER

In view of the foregoing,

IT IS ORDERED that the Registrar summarily suspend Respondent’s License No. 324506.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent’s License No. 324506 be revoked.

In the event of certification of the Administrative Law Judge Decision by the Director of the Office of Administrative Hearings, the effective date of the Decision will be 40 days from the date of that certification.

Done this day, May 12, 2020.
