Dismissal Letter Re: Complaint No. 2023-00332;
Dear Complainant:
The Registrar received and investigated your complaint. The Registrar determined that the Respondent’s work was subject to neglect, modification, or abnormal use. For that reason, the Registrar is prohibited from issuing a citation for the Respondent’s alleged poor workmanship or the alleged departure from applicable building codes. See A.R.S. § 32-1155(D)(2).
Therefore, the Registrar will not issue a citation in this matter. The complaint is hereby dismissed.
Please understand that nothing in this letter is intended to prevent you from seeking relief in another forum.
Sincerely,
Chris Fultz Chris Fultz, Investigator #209 (602) 771-6746 [email redacted] 1700 W Washington St, Suite 105 Phoenix, Arizona 85007-2812

Jobsite Inspection Notes
Case No.: 2023-00332 Investigator: Chris Fultz Inspection Date: February 15, 2023 Inspection Time: 2:00 PM
Complainant: Scott Christian Respondent: Creative Pfeiffer Sonora West Development Environments Design and Landscape Inc Inc Not Present: Not Present:
Jobsite General Notes: JSI photos were taken with my Cell phone. JSI audio was recorded with my Olympus Digital Voice Recorder. Refer to Compliance JSI photos for reference. Photos and recordings have been uploaded to the case file.
On 02/15/2023 at about 1400 hours, I conducted a jobsite inspection at the home of Steve Newlin. The complaint was filed by the builder, Sonora West Development. All parties were present at the inspection.
There were several issues on the complaint and a couple other discussed at the inspection.
Work was completed and approved of the project on 06/28/2021. After the completion, the homeowner filed several complaints about the fountain not working properly. During those complaints, the respondent documented that fountain was not being properly maintained. The Respondent, then provided 4 weeks of free maintenance. After this time frame, the homeowner signed off on the fountain working perfectly. The homeowner was then responsible for the maintenance of his fountain. A heavy buildup of calcium and bee caucuses. There is no evidence to show poor workmanship. The fountain has more likely failed due to poor owner maintenance.
During the inspection the homeowner was also discussing issues with dead or dying plants. He stated that the irrigation system wasn’t working and this was the result. He also stated he has had other companies working on the system. There was also 2 guys there at the inspection making changes to the work. The ROC doesn’t have any recourse for a living plant dying. The ROC also cannot hold the respondent responsible for anything that has been altered or modified by others. 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Within AZ 877.692.9762 · Fax 602.542.1599 · roc.az.gov RCC100 08/19
We also looked at a couple of areas where the irrigation lines have come uncovered. This is a homeowner maintenance after the first year.
This case will be dismissed at this time.
Complaint Item: 1 - Deficient construction of water fountain; tile and grout issues; causing massive water loss - reported to Respondent on numerous occasions, but not remedied, and remains inoperable. Investigator’s Observation: Work was completed 06/28/2021. There were several complaints of the fountain not working. Documents show the fountain was not being properly maintained. After several visits to fix the poor maintenance of the fountain, the respondent provided 4 weeks of free maintenance. The homeowner again signed off on the fountain working. After being turned back over to the homeowner, it appears the fountain has not been properly maintained. There was a heavy buildup of calcium and bee caucuses.
Complaint Item: 2 - Original Contract Items Not Delivered/Installed, Nor Credit Issued: (1) 120 ft of steel edging for lower level turf; Queens’s mix for 14 pots-not applied; 20 tons Madison gold 2" depth - only 10 tons delivered and depth did not exceed 1".

(3) Downgrade of 6 boxed specimen Texas Laurels, Single trunk at $950.00 each, replaced by 6 potted pigmy palms and petunias, elephants trail at $290.00 each. Credit due for difference at $3,960.00. (4) Credit due for 200 feet pot sleeving and 14 drainage pottery which was not installed due to lack of project coordination by Respondent and Respondent's late start, as concrete was already poured. Credit due of $1,200.00. Total aggregate credit due: $16,979.70. Investigator’s Observation: This issue is a financial dispute between the parties.

A Guide to Jobsite Inspections
Purpose of the Jobsite Inspection When the Registrar receives a complaint against a contractor’s license alleging poor workmanship, the Registrar generally schedules a Jobsite Inspection. The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.
Jobsite Inspection Rights and Responsibilities Access to inspect: The property owner has complete control over who they allow on the property. However, if the Registrar’s investigator or the contractor cannot inspect the work, the Registrar will not move forward with a citation.
Cooperation: Arizona law enables injured parties to seek relief for damages through several paths. When dealing with a licensed contractor, the Registrar of Contractors’ administrative complaint process may serve as one of those possible paths. However, in order to use that path, the Registrar relies on the cooperation of all parties to a complaint.
Minimum workmanship: The Registrar investigates workmanship complaints for compliance with minimum workmanship and professional industry standards. The Registrar does not issue citations for work that meets these standards.
Scope: The scope of the Jobsite Inspection is limited to items listed in the complaint filed with the Registrar’s office. It is the complainant’s responsibility to point out the complaint item(s) and the Investigators role to review the item(s). If the complainant identifies additional workmanship items not listed in the original complaint, they must file an addendum to the complaint. The Registrar’s Investigator may identify additional administrative violations by the contractor (e.g. work performed out of scope of the license and failure to provide a contract that meets requirements set by Arizona law) at the time of the inspection.
The Role of the Investigator At the Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s investigator will: ● Only investigate the items listed on the complaint form filed with the Registrar. ● Will gather evidence to make an informed decision about the complaint items.
What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will leave the jobsite and review the evidence provided during the inspection. Generally, the investigator does not make any determination at the time of the jobsite inspection regarding whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.
Questions? If you have already filed a complaint and it was assigned to an investigator, you are encouraged to contact that investigator directly with the information listed in your jobsite inspection letter. If you have not filed a complaint yet or have not been assigned an investigator, you can reach the Registrar’s compliance department at (877) 692-9762. 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Within AZ 877.692.9762 · Fax 602.542.1599 · roc.az.gov C008 05/21 Katie Hobbs, Governor Martín Quezada, Director
A Guide to Written Directives Purpose of the Jobsite Inspection When the Registrar receives a complaint against a contractor’s license, the Registrar generally schedules a Jobsite Inspection. The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.
What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will determine whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.
Written Directives Access: In order to use the administrative process offered by the Registrar, a property owner must provide reasonable access to allow the contractor to fix their work as directed by the Registrar in a Written Directive. Complainants may not put any additional, unnecessary restrictions on the Respondent above and beyond the initial contract requirements agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Respondents are required to make repairs on items identified on any Written Directive, not otherwise restricted by local code or HOA limitations. Complainants must make access available to the Respondent to make the required repairs and failure to provide reasonable access may result in the Registrar dismissing the complaint.
Contractor obligations: The Written Directive will set a deadline for compliance. This is the period of time determined by the Investigator as necessary to complete the items listed in the Directive. ● The deadline for compliance assumes the contractor will promptly begin working on the items listed in the Directive. ● Do not wait. Both parties should communicate quickly to schedule the work.
Extensions: If good cause exists to extend this deadline, either party may submit a written request to the Investigator. The Registrar will review requests for extension and determine if the Directive should be extended.
Manner and method of performance: The Registrar does not provide specific instructions for how to correct poor work. A licensed contractor is expected to have the skill and professionalism to complete the work. Moreover, the complainant may not dictate the manner of repair. If the contractor fails to appropriately correct the work according to the contract, the Registrar will issue a citation.
Compliance Inspection: After the Written Directive expires, the Registrar’s Investigator will contact the complainant to determine if the contractor performed any corrective work. ● If the contractor did corrective work, the Investigator may schedule a Compliance Inspection to determine if the poor work is corrected. ● If the contractor did not perform any corrective work, the Registrar’s Investigator will not do a Compliance Inspection and will determine whether to issue a citation based on the administrative record.
Work performed after the directive ends: After the Directive period ends, a property owner may choose to allow the contractor to continue its work. The Registrar encourages parties to work cooperatively, but cannot 1700 W.

require a homeowner to continue to allow a contractor access to the property after the Directive period ends in order for the administrative process to continue. Denying access after the Directive ends is not grounds to close or dismiss a complaint.
Questions? If you have already filed a complaint and it was assigned to an investigator, you are encouraged to contact that investigator directly with the information listed in your jobsite inspection letter.

Dismissal Letter Re: Complaint No. 2023-02231;
Dear Complainant:
The Registrar received and investigated your complaint. Section 32-1162(A) provides a two year statute of limitations for when a complaint must be filed with the Registrar, and prevents the Registrar from proceeding against a contractor on complaints that were not filed within the limitations period. Specifically, the complaint must be filed:
• For new home builds or other new building construction, within two years after the earlier of the close of escrow or actual occupancy. A.R.S. § 32-1162(A)(1). • For all other projects, within two years after the completion of the specific project. A.R.S. § 32-1162(A)(2).
Section 32-1162(A) prohibits the Registrar from proceeding against a contractor on complaints that were not filed timely. Based on the information submitted to the Registrar, the act was committed more than two years prior to the date of filing the complaint.
Therefore, the Registrar will not issue a citation in this matter. The complaint is hereby dismissed.
Please understand that nothing in this letter is intended to prevent you from seeking relief in another forum.
Sincerely,
David Fagerburg David Fagerburg, Investigator #210 (602) 771-6735 [email redacted] 1700 W Washington St, Suite 105 Phoenix, AZ 85007-2812

COMPLAINANT: 1. Under A.R.S. § 32-1155(D)(1), the Respondent must be allowed, upon request, the opportunity to inspect the work complained of within fifteen (15) days of receiving this notice. If Respondent is not provided an opportunity to inspect the work within the fifteen (15) day time period, the Registrar may be prohibited from taking further action on this complaint. 2.

A Guide to Jobsite Inspections
Purpose of the Jobsite Inspection When the Registrar receives a complaint against a contractor’s license alleging poor workmanship, the Registrar generally schedules a Jobsite Inspection. The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.
Jobsite Inspection Rights and Responsibilities Access to inspect: The property owner has complete control over who they allow on the property. However, if the Registrar’s investigator or the contractor cannot inspect the work, the Registrar will not move forward with a citation.
Cooperation: Arizona law enables injured parties to seek relief for damages through several paths. When dealing with a licensed contractor, the Registrar of Contractors’ administrative complaint process may serve as one of those possible paths. However, in order to use that path, the Registrar relies on the cooperation of all parties to a complaint.
Minimum workmanship: The Registrar investigates workmanship complaints for compliance with minimum workmanship and professional industry standards. The Registrar does not issue citations for work that meets these standards.
Scope: The scope of the Jobsite Inspection is limited to items listed in the complaint filed with the Registrar’s office. It is the complainant’s responsibility to point out the complaint item(s) and the Investigators role to review the item(s). If the complainant identifies additional workmanship items not listed in the original complaint, they must file an addendum to the complaint. The Registrar’s Investigator may identify additional administrative violations by the contractor (e.g. work performed out of scope of the license and failure to provide a contract that meets requirements set by Arizona law) at the time of the inspection.
The Role of the Investigator At the Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s investigator will: ● Only investigate the items listed on the complaint form filed with the Registrar. ● Will gather evidence to make an informed decision about the complaint items.
What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will leave the jobsite and review the evidence provided during the inspection. Generally, the investigator does not make any determination at the time of the jobsite inspection regarding whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.
Questions? If you have already filed a complaint and it was assigned to an investigator, you are encouraged to contact that investigator directly with the information listed in your jobsite inspection letter. If you have not filed a complaint yet or have not been assigned an investigator, you can reach the Registrar’s compliance department at (877) 692-9762. 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Within AZ 877.692.9762 · Fax 602.542.1599 · roc.az.gov C008 05/21 Katie Hobbs, Governor Martín Quezada, Director
A Guide to Written Directives Purpose of the Jobsite Inspection When the Registrar receives a complaint against a contractor’s license, the Registrar generally schedules a Jobsite Inspection. The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.
What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will determine whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.
Written Directives Access: In order to use the administrative process offered by the Registrar, a property owner must provide reasonable access to allow the contractor to fix their work as directed by the Registrar in a Written Directive. Complainants may not put any additional, unnecessary restrictions on the Respondent above and beyond the initial contract requirements agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Respondents are required to make repairs on items identified on any Written Directive, not otherwise restricted by local code or HOA limitations. Complainants must make access available to the Respondent to make the required repairs and failure to provide reasonable access may result in the Registrar dismissing the complaint.
Contractor obligations: The Written Directive will set a deadline for compliance. This is the period of time determined by the Investigator as necessary to complete the items listed in the Directive. ● The deadline for compliance assumes the contractor will promptly begin working on the items listed in the Directive. ● Do not wait. Both parties should communicate quickly to schedule the work.
Extensions: If good cause exists to extend this deadline, either party may submit a written request to the Investigator. The Registrar will review requests for extension and determine if the Directive should be extended.
Manner and method of performance: The Registrar does not provide specific instructions for how to correct poor work. A licensed contractor is expected to have the skill and professionalism to complete the work. Moreover, the complainant may not dictate the manner of repair. If the contractor fails to appropriately correct the work according to the contract, the Registrar will issue a citation.
Compliance Inspection: After the Written Directive expires, the Registrar’s Investigator will contact the complainant to determine if the contractor performed any corrective work. ● If the contractor did corrective work, the Investigator may schedule a Compliance Inspection to determine if the poor work is corrected. ● If the contractor did not perform any corrective work, the Registrar’s Investigator will not do a Compliance Inspection and will determine whether to issue a citation based on the administrative record.
Work performed after the directive ends: After the Directive period ends, a property owner may choose to allow the contractor to continue its work. The Registrar encourages parties to work cooperatively, but cannot 1700 W.

require a homeowner to continue to allow a contractor access to the property after the Directive period ends in order for the administrative process to continue. Denying access after the Directive ends is not grounds to close or dismiss a complaint.
Questions? If you have already filed a complaint and it was assigned to an investigator, you are encouraged to contact that investigator directly with the information listed in your jobsite inspection letter. If you have not filed a complaint yet or have not been assigned an investigator, you can reach the Registrar’s compliance department at (877) 692-9762.

Just to update since a week ago when this was sent:
The wine cellar was completed. Nothing else from this request has been completed
I was told Friday, as your guys were leaving, the security alarm for the main home is working. I appreciate that but they left without showing me how to use it- need that Monday as the home is furnished and I need to set alarm at night.
We are not getting very far with the lighting autonomation and I would like this stepped up please Marty. It takes forever for me to simply turn off the lights. There is no consistency for which button does what and very few do anything at all. Usually only 1 per station, and it rotates. Also dimming is an issue, can't make the lights "soft" as they go off at about 40% unlike what you did at my home in DM. We expect a CO this week and we need to get these done. We also need to schedule a tutorial...I have received no instruction or much of anything other than 10 minutes on how to do 1 of the TVs, nothing at all on how to manage HVAC, Security, etc.
Also, where are we on the TV lift for the kitchen? I have art but need to make sure this works.
How about shades automation tie-in as I am told shade people will be there Monday?
We need the low voltage exterior path lights set up on the C 4 timer to go on a dusk and off at 11:00 PM every day, same with water feature light in front ....this has been discussed several times going back as far as our Flagstaff meeting.
On a related note, they unnecessarily added three Control 4 switches to the garage...why? Only 1 was needed there by the entrance door.
Please provide the latest generator install and hook-up update.
I look forward to your response and hopefully full completion by end of the week.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Marty,
First of all, I want to compliment you on your people. They have great "people skills "and all very polite. It's very noticeable and appreciated and reflects highly on the PAVAZ culture.
Looking forward to finally getting the generator installed this week...please keep me informed of the schedule.
Please send me the TV proposal and the additions we are discussing to include: Skyvue 20 -43"TV outside by kitchen pass, add small TV same size (32")as exercise in Master bath, add 65" low end to the upper game room.
When will all the water bugs, the wine cellar control and alarms (both temp and security) be complete? The cameras for front and rear gates? The lower wine fridges are to be hooked up to alarm as well...recall they are equipped with wifi and alarms.
Also, when will all the exterior lights be complete? They need to be on timer dusk to midnight. We need to add the LV timers to the Control 4 system so they come on daily at dusk and off at midnight. The front water feature should run from AM until 11 PM daily.
Looking forward to completion!
Steve

Hope all is well with you.
In order to insure the Hideaway Lane home/property, Steve’s insurance company is requiring proof that Steve owns the home. Would you be able to provide a document proving ownership? It is quite urgent as Steve’s personal property is already in the home.

Re: Complaint No. 2023-02231, License No ROC 164411
Dear Mr. Pfeiffer,
I am in receipt of your letter dated May 18, 2023. Your letter reasserts that Mr. Newlin occupied the residence before March 2, 2021, and his complaint is therefore barred under A.R.S. § 32-1162(A).
While your previous letter of May 11 relied on A.R.S. § 33-1002 to argue that Mr. Newlin occupied the residence prior to March 2, 2021, the Registrar rejected that argument, as section 33-1002 relates to mechanics liens, and has no bearing on the Registrar’s determination of actual occupancy under section 32-1162(A). Your recent letter asserts that “Mr. Newlin slept in the home prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy which solidifies the fact the home was occupied.”
The date of Mr. Newlin’s “actual occupancy” is a contested issue that does not warrant dismissal of the complaint. To be successful, a request to dismiss a complaint based on statute of limitations grounds must set forth facts that clearly and convincingly show that dismissal is required. But where, as here, there are disputed facts, dismissal on the technical grounds of limitations is not appropriate. See, e.g., UMB Bank, NA v. Parkview School, Inc., 523 P.3d 1261 (Ariz. App. 2023).

Compliant Item 1: Sub-Pro Cap Roofing-ROC looked at this preliminarily via BCP about 18 months ago and I didn't file then, hoping things would stabilize. Since then things have gotten much worse and are easily highly visible as the roofing contractor attempted cosmetic" cover ups" using spray paint and some foreign substance that have badly faded and significantly discolored. Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed roof tiles installed throughout the home and casita with what appears to be paint or other foreign material applied with a brush or other means. I also observed roof tiles installed in the field of the roof using roof tiles designed to be used for gable roof ends with a foreign material used to fill the holes. See P (3) thru P (16). The respondent shall correct the roof tiles installed throughout all structures with cosmetic cover ups or foreign substance and roof tiles installed in the roof field designed for gable roof ends by appropriate means. Governing Rule: ARS §32-1154 (A) (3) namely R4-9-108, Poor work not performed in accordance with professional industry standards.
Compliant Item 2: Pro Cap the roofer made poor tile installation against the manufactures' specs, the manufacturer shipped bad tiles, tile contractor tried to "cover this up" by applying spray paint and a tar substance over numerous bad tiles- (I have videos and photos); Investigator’s Observation: This complaint item has been addressed in complaint item 1 and 4. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 3: I have had 2 other roofers look at this and agree its a terrible installation and look. I have emails from the manufacturer and my builder recognizing the problem and seeking remedy. Investigator’s Observation: This is a statement made by the complainant that does not imply poor workmanship. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 4: There are also cracked and loose tiles, damaged peeling roof vents, rodent access open, Valley alignment of tiles(not cut), flashing debris Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed roof tiles installed throughout the home and casita that are loose, have a head lap that exceeds the manufacturer installation specifications, damaged peeling roof vents and the valley alignment of tiles that are not cut within the roof valley per industry standards. See P (3) thru P (16). During this jobsite investigation I did not observe any cracked roof tiles, open rodent access or flashing debris. The roof valley tile is irregular and unsightly. The respondent shall correct the loose roof tiles, valley roof tiles that are irregular, unsightly and not cut in the roof valleys per industry standards, roof tiles that exceed the required head lap including the peeling roof vents by appropriate means. Governing Rule: ARS §32-1154 (A) (3) namely R4-9-108, Poor work not performed in accordance with professional industry standards.

Compliant Item 5: -the biggest issue is cosmetic damage done by attempted cover-up which looked less bad for about 4 months and now has badly faded and looks horrible- never should have applied tar or spray paint to hide the bad material. My builder agrees but has not been able to get the sub to remedy it. My new home needs a new roof which will be $150,000. I shouldn't have to pay for two roofs just because the first was installed improperly and covered up. This is a very serious matter that needs a full and comprehensive remedy. My contractor has filed a lawsuit against the roofer and the supplier and agrees the installation is unacceptable. Investigator’s Observation: This complaint item has been addressed in complaint items 1 and 4. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 6: Sub-Mossman Pools subcontractor- (this work was completed November 15,2021 Rear Water Feature, not built per plans or spec- jackhammered 6 inches off the top concrete level as they were built at the wrong elevation and too shallow., not per spec. Water overflows saturating the outside wall /causing erosion Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed a water feature installed in the rear of the home. See P (17) and P (18). The respondent’s sub- contractor acknowledged the water feature is not built per the original plans or specifications and jackhammered 6 inches off the top of the concrete level as the water feature trough was built at the wrong elevation and was too shallow. The respondent’s sub-contractor and the complainant acknowledged there is a change order agreed upon by both parties with a credit offered and accepted by the complainant. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor agreed to correct the water feature where water flows over the end of the trough saturating the outside wall and causing erosion. This correction will also address complaint item 8. Governing Rule: ARS §32-1154 (A) (3) namely R4-9-108, Poor work not performed in accordance with professional industry standards.
Compliant Item 7: The wrong pebble tec color was applied 91 have records and photos). Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed a water feature in the rear of the home with a brown colored Pebble Tec finish installed. See P (17) and P (18). The complainant stated that the color has always been brown, is not the color chosen and is not the result of algae. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor stated that as a good faith gesture the color of the Pebble Tec can be enhanced with a coating that may resolve the issue of color. Per the ROC Workmanship Standards, substantial completion for swimming pools and spa interior cementitious finishes means 30 days from the day the pool/spa is filled with water and the equipment is in operation. This also applies to water features. This investigator has not been provided with any evidence or documentation that the respondent or the respondent’s subcontractor was informed in writing of the wrong Pebble Tec color being installed within 30 days. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate this complaint item. Governing Rule: No Action

The respondent’s sub- contractor acknowledged the water feature is not built per the original plans or specifications, the water feature trough was built at the wrong elevation and was too shallow. During this jobsite investigation in measuring the water level while the pump was on, the water level is approximately 5-1/2” deep. The respondent read me the approved change order that states the fountain depth is to be 6” and does not specify the depth of the water. The respondent’s sub-contractor and the complainant acknowledged there is a change order agreed upon by both parties with a credit offered and accepted by the complainant. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor stated that the water level will be corrected when complaint item 6 is corrected by allowing the water level to be higher. After this jobsite investigation the respondent provided documentation of credits in the contract related to the water feature. The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes.

Compliant Item 10c: Pool- water often overflows the pool as cleaning jets require too much force and water goes over the negative edge-Ive had $600 water bills from this. Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to what the complainant pays for water. During this jobsite investigation I observed a negative edge pool filled with water in the rear of the home. See P (19) thru P (23). The respondent and complainant agree a negative edge pool will overflow during heavy wind events. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor explained that adjustments can be made to the cleaning heads to prevent some water overflow but that there will always be some overflow captured in the basin and returned to the pool.

The respondent acknowledged the piping installed is galvanized and has used a stainless steel product to prevent the piping from rusting. During this jobsite investigation both parties acknowledged the local jurisdiction passed final inspection and C of O was issued March 12, 2021. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate the spa fire feature does not meet the code or malfunctions constantly. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 13: Spa- complete misalignment of fixtures, jets, etc, leaks along basin, destroyed wall cap; Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified.

After this jobsite investigation the respondent informed me that there is documentation regarding any issues the complainant had with workmanship over the past 2 years and the scratches were never on the list. I am unable to verify whether or not the scratches observed are the result of the respondent’s poor workmanship or if the scratches occurred after the complainant took possession of the home. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 14b: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- pitted windows, Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation in the kitchen of the home the complainant explained that during welding of materials the glass was exposed to sparks and showed me window glass with what appears to be pits in the glass. See P (27). Per the ROC Workmanship Standards glass and mirror defects should be reported to the contractor at the time of the walk-thru. If no walk-thru has been held, these defects should be reported within 10 days of occupancy or replacement installation. This investigator has not been provided with any written documentation that the respondent was made aware of any pitted windows within 10 days of occupancy. During this jobsite investigation while standing in a normal position 15 feet away from the window glass I am unable to identify any pits in the windows. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 15: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- improper hardware, Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed windows installed in the kitchen with locking hardware installed at a height that requires a step stool to operate the Hardware. See P (28). During this jobsite investigation the complainant did not provide any documentation or contract specification that the window hardware should be operable from the floor level. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate that the window hardware is improper. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 16: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- scratched cladding and frames not remedied and attempts to cover this up have faded and visible, Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed sliding glass door frame cladding with what appears to be an attempt to repair the damaged surface of the door frames.

At this jobsite investigation the respondent explained that after the door in the office was installed there was a change order to install an additional glass panel and there is not enough room for the electric motor to be installed within the wall cavity that operates the sliding glass doors. During this jobsite investigation the respondent stated that a credit was provided to the complainant to compensate for not being able to install the electric motor per the approved plans. After this jobsite investigation the respondent provided documentation of credits in the contract related to the office door modifications. The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes. Governing Rule: No Action

The damage appears to be isolated mainly at the area of passage thru the door entrance. The sliding glass door is under a covered patio protected from the elements. After this jobsite investigation the respondent informed me that the patio area and master sliding glass door is used for the complainant’s main dog run, the patio is subjected to being hosed off on a regular basis and that the type of sliding door track installed only leaks with pressurized water hitting the door track. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate whether or not the master window door leaks are the result of the respondent’s poor workmanship or if the water damaged flooring is caused by other means.

Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to what minor things the respondent has agreed to with the complainant. During this jobsite investigation I observed a covered, enclosed pool equipment room located below a set of stairs with sheetrock installed on the ceiling. I did not observe any ruined sheetrock. See P (31) thru P (34). The complainant stated he has concerns regarding the Efflorescence that is developing on the CMU block wall. During this jobsite investigation I informed both parties that per the ROC Workmanship Standards the potential for efflorescence exists in all Portland cement-based products. Efflorescence is a salt that is left on the surface of concrete upon drying and is generally of only cosmetic concern in nature. It often dissipates with contact with water or the passage of time. Efflorescence that is severe, recurring, or accompanied by degradation of the concrete surface may indicate the application of excessive moisture, an elevated concentration of salts in the applied water, numerous cycles of wetting and drying and/or a more substantial presence of salts within the surrounding environment. Efflorescence is not considered poor workmanship. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate that the pool equipment room leaks badly or that the sheetrock is ruined. Governing Rule: No Action

I feel my GC is very conscientious and ethical, and trying, but subs aren't cooperating in the above areas, hence the complaint; Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to how many times termites may have been found at the Casita. In reviewing the contract submitted by the complainant I am able to verify the complainant or any successors agree to look solely to the pest control company for costs and expenses associated with investigating and remedying any termite infestation covered by the Termite Certificate and waive all claims of liability against respondent for losses, costs, and expenses in connection with the existence of termites at the residence, except for the respondent's one-year obligation of repair as set forth in this section.

Sub-Pro Cap Roofing-ROC looked at this preliminarily via BCP about 18 months ago and I didn't file then, hoping things would stabilize. Since then things have gotten much worse and are easily highly visible as the roofing contractor attempted cosmetic " cover ups" using spray paint and some foreign substance that have badly faded and significantly discolored. Pro Cap the roofer made poor tile installation against the manufactures' specs, the manufacturer shipped bad tiles, tile contractor tried to "cover this up" by applying spray paint and a tar substance over numerous bad tiles- (I have videos and photos); I have had 2 other roofers look at this and agree its a terrible installation and look. I have emails from the manufacturer and my builder recognizing the problem and seeking remedy. There are also cracked and loose tiles, damaged peeling roof vents, rodent access open, Valley alignment of tiles(not cut), flashing debris -the biggest issue is cosmetic damage done by attempted cover-up which looked less bad for about 4 months and now has badly faded and looks horrible-never should have applied tar or spray paint to hide the bad material. My builder agrees but has not been able to get the sub to remedy it. My new home needs a new roof which will be $150,000. I shouldn't have to pay for two roofs just because the first was installed improperly and covered up.This is a very serious matter that needs a full and comprehensive remedy. My contractor has filed a lawsuit against the roofer and the supplier and agrees the installation is unacceptable. Sub-Mossman Pools subcontractor- (this work was completed November 15,2021 Rear Water Feature, not built per plans or spec- jackhammered 6 inches off the top concrete level as they were built at the wrong elevation and too shallow., not per spec.

worked for only 3 months post-completion in June of 2022,. The tile skin is falling off. Tile was not mitered and also has too much grout space for a negative edge. Lights not installed Pump not working Water loss as well not sealed tight front water feature they installed only worked 4 months and has tile popping off and the pump does not work, irrigation system malfunctions, failed to provide items in contract-lights, plants, timer, sleeving borders and adequate pots/ sleeving, exposed irrigation lines yet billed for them applied Hydroseed against HOA compliance and refused to remove or refund (I had to have my landscaper do this), damaged my property out of the building envelope, failed to provide trees of similar value when others died and they couldn't find replacements; My General Contractor- SWD-has been attempting to get the subs to remedy all the above but as we are approaching 2 years so I must file the complaint. My GC has some minor things to do which he has agreed to such as stucco, and paint and there is an open issue in the pool eqpt room which leaks badly and has ruined sheetrock. Also termites found 3 X in Casita. I feel my GC is very conscientious and ethical, and trying, but subs aren't cooperating in the above areas, hence the complaint; See Sub Mossman Pools above as it keeps getting mingled with roof.

Compliant Item 1: Sub-Pro Cap Roofing-ROC looked at this preliminarily via BCP about 18 months ago and I didn't file then, hoping things would stabilize.

Compliant Item 3: I have had 2 other roofers look at this and agree its a terrible installation and look. I have emails from the manufacturer and my builder recognizing the problem and seeking remedy.

Compliant Item 4: There are also cracked and loose tiles, damaged peeling roof vents, rodent access open, Valley alignment of tiles(not cut), flashing debris Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed roof tiles installed throughout the home and casita that are loose, have a head lap that exceeds the manufacturer installation specifications, damaged peeling roof vents and the valley alignment of tiles that are not cut within the roof valley per industry standards. See P (3) thru P (16). During this jobsite investigation I did not observe any cracked roof tiles, open rodent access or flashing debris. The roof valley tile is irregular and unsightly.

Compliant Item 5: -the biggest issue is cosmetic damage done by attempted cover-up which looked less bad for about 4 months and now has badly faded and looks horrible- never should have applied tar or spray paint to hide the bad material. My builder agrees but has not been able to get the sub to remedy it. My new home needs a new roof which will be $150,000.

Compliant Item 6: Sub-Mossman Pools subcontractor- (this work was completed November 15,2021 Rear Water Feature, not built per plans or spec- jackhammered 6 inches off the top concrete level as they were built at the wrong elevation and too shallow., not per spec. Water overflows saturating the outside wall /causing erosion Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed a water feature installed in the rear of the home. See P (17) and P (18). The respondent’s sub- contractor acknowledged the water feature is not built per the original plans or specifications and jackhammered 6 inches off the top of the concrete level as the water feature trough was built at the wrong elevation and was too shallow. The respondent’s sub-contractor and the complainant acknowledged there is a change order agreed upon by both parties with a credit offered and accepted by the complainant. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor agreed to correct the water feature where water flows over the end of the trough saturating the outside wall and causing erosion. This correction will also address complaint item 8. Governing Rule: ARS §32-1154 (A) (3) namely R4-9-108, Poor work not performed in accordance with professional industry standards.
Compliant Item 7: The wrong pebble tec color was applied 91 have records and photos). Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed a water feature in the rear of the home with a brown colored Pebble Tec finish installed. See P (17) and P (18). The complainant stated that the color has always been brown, is not the color chosen and is not the result of algae. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor stated that as a good faith gesture the color of the Pebble Tec can be enhanced with a coating that may resolve the issue of color. Per the ROC Workmanship Standards, substantial completion for swimming pools and spa interior cementitious finishes means 30 days from the day the pool/spa is filled with water and the equipment is in operation. This also applies to water features. This investigator has not been provided with any evidence or documentation that the respondent or the respondent’s subcontractor was informed in writing of the wrong Pebble Tec color being installed within 30 days. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate this complaint item. Governing Rule: No Action

Compliant Item 8: Unit not built per plan and specs. Depth too shallow was to be 10 inches deep and is only 4.5 inches deep Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed a water feature in the rear of the home. See P (17) and P (18). The respondent’s sub- contractor acknowledged the water feature is not built per the original plans or specifications, the water feature trough was built at the wrong elevation and was too shallow. During this jobsite investigation in measuring the water level while the pump was on, the water level is approximately 5-1/2” deep. The respondent read me the approved change order that states the fountain depth is to be 6” and does not specify the depth of the water. The respondent’s sub-contractor and the complainant acknowledged there is a change order agreed upon by both parties with a credit offered and accepted by the complainant. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor stated that the water level will be corrected when complaint item 6 is corrected by allowing the water level to be higher. After this jobsite investigation the respondent provided documentation of credits in the contract related to the water feature. The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes.

See P (20) and P (23). After this jobsite investigation the respondent provided documentation of credits in the contract related to the pool Laminars. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 10b: Pool- wrong tile, Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation all parties agree that the pool tile is not wrong.

Compliant Item 10c: Pool- water often overflows the pool as cleaning jets require too much force and water goes over the negative edge-Ive had $600 water bills from this. Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to what the complainant pays for water. During this jobsite investigation I observed a negative edge pool filled with water in the rear of the home. See P (19) thru P (23). The respondent and complainant agree a negative edge pool will overflow during heavy wind events. During this jobsite investigation the respondent’s subcontractor explained that adjustments can be made to the cleaning heads to prevent some water overflow but that there will always be some overflow captured in the basin and returned to the pool. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate poor workmanship. Governing Rule: No Action

At this jobsite investigation the complainant acknowledged the respondent’s subcontractor corrected this complaint item. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 12: Spa fire feature does not meet the code, malfunctions constantly- service visits in a year, used galvanized pipe and is corroding Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed a fire feature installed at the end of the spa. See P (24) and P (25). The respondent acknowledged the piping installed is galvanized and has used a stainless steel product to prevent the piping from rusting. During this jobsite investigation both parties acknowledged the local jurisdiction passed final inspection and C of O was issued March 12, 2021. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate the spa fire feature does not meet the code or malfunctions constantly. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 13: Spa- complete misalignment of fixtures, jets, etc, leaks along basin, destroyed wall cap; Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed a spa installed at the rear of the home. During this jobsite investigation the complainant showed me that the spa fixtures and jets are misaligned and not in the center of the spa. See P (24). I did not observe any leaks along the basin or destroyed wall cap. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate that the spa fixtures, jets etc. are all to be centered and aligned in the spa. Governing Rule: No Action

At this jobsite investigation I observed a scratches on the office sliding door window glass. During this jobsite investigation both parties acknowledged the local jurisdiction passed final inspection and C of O was issued March 12, 2021. After this jobsite investigation the respondent informed me that there is documentation regarding any issues the complainant had with workmanship over the past 2 years and the scratches were never on the list. I am unable to verify whether or not the scratches observed are the result of the respondent’s poor workmanship or if the scratches occurred after the complainant took possession of the home. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 14b: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- pitted windows, Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation in the kitchen of the home the complainant explained that during welding of materials the glass was exposed to sparks and showed me window glass with what appears to be pits in the glass. See P (27). Per the ROC Workmanship Standards glass and mirror defects should be reported to the contractor at the time of the walk-thru. If no walk-thru has been held, these defects should be reported within 10 days of occupancy or replacement installation. This investigator has not been provided with any written documentation that the respondent was made aware of any pitted windows within 10 days of occupancy. During this jobsite investigation while standing in a normal position 15 feet away from the window glass I am unable to identify any pits in the windows. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 15: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- improper hardware, Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed windows installed in the kitchen with locking hardware installed at a height that requires a step stool to operate the Hardware. See P (28). During this jobsite investigation the complainant did not provide any documentation or contract specification that the window hardware should be operable from the floor level. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate that the window hardware is improper. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 16: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- scratched cladding and frames not remedied and attempts to cover this up have faded and visible, Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation I observed sliding glass door frame cladding with what appears to be an attempt to repair the damaged surface of the door frames. I am able to verify that the repair attempt on the window cladding has faded and is visible. See P (26). The respondent shall correct by appropriate means. Governing Rule: ARS §32-1154 (A) (3) namely R4-9-108, Poor work not performed in accordance with professional industry standards.

Compliant Item 17: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- weatherstripping chronic problems, Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I did not observe any chronic problems with the window weather stripping. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 18: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- office door not built per plans and specs. Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation the respondent explained that after the door in the office was installed there was a change order to install an additional glass panel and there is not enough room for the electric motor to be installed within the wall cavity that operates the sliding glass doors. During this jobsite investigation the respondent stated that a credit was provided to the complainant to compensate for not being able to install the electric motor per the approved plans. After this jobsite investigation the respondent provided documentation of credits in the contract related to the office door modifications. The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 19: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- the electric door doesn't work, Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation both parties agree the electric door in the office does not work without manually forcing the doors closed. The respondent shall correct by appropriate means. Governing Rule: ARS §32-1154 (A) (3) namely R4-9-108, Poor work not performed in accordance with professional industry standards.
Compliant Item 20: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- master window door leaks Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation the complainant showed me where there appears to water damage on the wood flooring inside the master sliding glass door. See P (29) and P (30). The damage appears to be isolated mainly at the area of passage thru the door entrance. The sliding glass door is under a covered patio protected from the elements. After this jobsite investigation the respondent informed me that the patio area and master sliding glass door is used for the complainant’s main dog run, the patio is subjected to being hosed off on a regular basis and that the type of sliding door track installed only leaks with pressurized water hitting the door track. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate whether or not the master window door leaks are the result of the respondent’s poor workmanship or if the water damaged flooring is caused by other means. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 21: Sub-Sierra Pacific Windows- office door scraping top and can't close it- not installed per specs and drawings; Investigator’s Observation: Verified. At this jobsite investigation both parties agree the office door is scraping, makes a rubbing sound and is difficult to operate. The respondent shall correct by appropriate means. Governing Rule: ARS §32-1154 (A) (3) namely R4-9-108, Poor work not performed in accordance with professional industry standards.

At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to whether or not the respondent’s subcontractor destroyed a Saguaro on the complainant’s property or if a credit was offered and not provided. The ROC does not get involved in financial disputes nor have jurisdiction over living plants that die. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 24: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- Failed to deliver items billed for on contract and didn't credit for them-charged for 3 transformers and only installed2, Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation the respondent stated that the transformers installed have a larger capacity and 3 transformers were not required. After this jobsite investigation it was verified that this complaint item has been previously addressed by ROC Investigator Chris Fultz during a jobsite investigation conducted on February 15, 2023 filed by this respondent under ROC complaint 2023- 00332. At that time it was determined that this is a financial dispute between the parties and the respondent provided documentation of credits in the contract. The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 25: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- change order #2 was never provided and no credit issued, charged for 120 ft steel edging not provided, charged for 20 tons Madison gold 2-inch depth and not provided, never provided 6 Texas Laurels and substituted plants that were $3800 less expensive Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified.

The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 26: Sub Creative Environments Landscape-Failed to bury irrigation lines. Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation the complainant did not show me any irrigation lines that are not buried with the exception of an area the complainant acknowledged was exposed by a landscape contractor. See P (35) thru P (37). Governing Rule: No Action 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Within AZ 877.692.9762 · Fax 602.542.1599 · roc.az.gov RCC100 11/18
Compliant Item 27: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- The irrigation system has too few loops and emitters so some areas too dry while others are saturated due to different dryness and sunlight. Need more loops Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation the complainant acknowledged that a landscape contractor has attempted to adjust the irrigation controls and modify the irrigation system loops. Governing Rule: No Action, ARS §32-1155 (D) (2) (Modification)
Compliant Item 28: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- Inadequate irrigation controls- too few loops to provide moisture consistency Investigator’s Observation: This complaint item has been addressed in complaint item 27. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 29: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- Water feature CE built in front is not built per specs and photo and does not work. It settled and the pump is out- the system worked for only 3 months post-completion in June of 2022,. Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to how long the water feature may have worked or when the pump went out. During this jobsite investigation I observed a water feature at the front entrance to the home that has no water and is not in operation. See P (38) and P (39). After this jobsite investigation it was verified that this complaint item has been previously addressed by ROC Investigator Chris Fultz during a jobsite investigation conducted on February 15, 2023 filed by this respondent under ROC complaint 2023-00332. At that time it was verified that Creative Environments on multiple occasions returned to address any concerns of what was considered to be poor maintenance and provided 4 weeks of free maintenance. The 2023-00332 jobsite inspection notes determined that the complainant signed off on the fountain being restored to a working order and the maintenance was turned back over to the complainant. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate who may be responsible for the water feature that is currently inoperable. Governing Rule: No Action

Compliant Item 31: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- Lights not installed Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation the complainant did not show me where there were landscape lights to be installed. In reviewing the current draw cost breakdown provided by the complainant I am able to verify there was a landscape credit applied to the budget of $12,803.19. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate whether or not there are landscape lights that were not installed or what the credit applied to the budget is for. The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes. Governing Rule: No Action 1700 W.

At this jobsite investigation the complainant showed me where there are drip irrigation lines installed without sleeves. See P (37). After this jobsite investigation in reviewing the proof of payment submitted by the complainant I am able to verify the complainant was provided with a landscape credit in the amount of $12,803.19. There is insufficient evidence to determine what items are included in the credit the complainant received. This is a financial dispute between the parties. The ROC does not get involved in contract or financial disputes. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 36: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- applied Hydroseed against HOA compliance and refused to remove or refund (I had to have my landscaper do this), Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified.

Compliant Item 38: Sub-Creative Environments Landscape- failed to provide trees of similar value when others died and they couldn't find replacements; Investigator’s Observation: The ROC does not have jurisdiction over living plants that die nor get involved in contract or financial disputes. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 39: My General Contractor- SWD-has been attempting to get the subs to remedy all the above but as we are approaching 2 years so I must file the complaint. Investigator’s Observation: This is a statement made by the complainant that does not imply poor workmanship. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 40: My GC has some minor things to do which he has agreed to such as stucco, and paint and there is an open issue in the pool eqpt room which leaks badly and has ruined sheetrock. Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to what minor things the respondent has agreed to with the complainant. During this jobsite investigation I observed a covered, enclosed pool equipment room located below a set of stairs with sheetrock installed on the ceiling. I did not observe any ruined sheetrock. See P (31) thru P (34). The complainant stated he has concerns regarding the Efflorescence that is developing on the CMU block wall. During this jobsite investigation I informed both parties that per the ROC Workmanship Standards the potential for efflorescence exists in all Portland cement-based products. Efflorescence is a salt that is left on the surface of concrete upon drying and is generally of only cosmetic concern in nature. It often dissipates with contact with water or the passage of time. Efflorescence that is severe, recurring, or accompanied by degradation of the concrete surface may indicate the application of excessive moisture, an elevated concentration of salts in the applied water, numerous cycles of wetting and drying and/or a more substantial presence of salts within the surrounding environment. Efflorescence is not considered poor workmanship. There is insufficient evidence to substantiate that the pool equipment room leaks badly or that the sheetrock is ruined. Governing Rule: No Action

Compliant Item 41: Also termites found 3 X in Casita. I feel my GC is very conscientious and ethical, and trying, but subs aren't cooperating in the above areas, hence the complaint; Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified. At this jobsite investigation I had no knowledge as to how many times termites may have been found at the Casita. In reviewing the contract submitted by the complainant I am able to verify the complainant or any successors agree to look solely to the pest control company for costs and expenses associated with investigating and remedying any termite infestation covered by the Termite Certificate and waive all claims of liability against respondent for losses, costs, and expenses in connection with the existence of termites at the residence, except for the respondent's one-year obligation of repair as set forth in this section. The remainder of this complaint item is a statement made by the complainant that does not imply poor workmanship. During this jobsite investigation both parties acknowledged the local jurisdiction passed final inspection and C of O was issued March 12, 2021. Governing Rule: No Action
Compliant Item 42: See Sub Mossman Pools above as it keeps getting mingled with roof. Thank you Investigator’s Observation: This is a statement made by the complainant that does not imply poor workmanship. Governing Rule: No Action

Re: Complaint No. 2023-02231, License No ROC 164411
Dear Mr. Pfeiffer,
I am in receipt of your letter dated May 18, 2023. Your letter reasserts that Mr. Newlin occupied the residence before March 2, 2021, and his complaint is therefore barred under A.R.S. § 32-1162(A).
While your previous letter of May 11 relied on A.R.S. § 33-1002 to argue that Mr. Newlin occupied the residence prior to March 2, 2021, the Registrar rejected that argument, as section 33-1002 relates to mechanics liens, and has no bearing on the Registrar’s determination of actual occupancy under section 32-1162(A). Your recent letter asserts that “Mr. Newlin slept in the home prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy which solidifies the fact the home was occupied.”
The date of Mr. Newlin’s “actual occupancy” is a contested issue that does not warrant dismissal of the complaint. To be successful, a request to dismiss a complaint based on statute of limitations grounds must set forth facts that clearly and convincingly show that dismissal is required. But where, as here, there are disputed facts, dismissal on the technical grounds of limitations is not appropriate. See, e.g., UMB Bank, NA v. Parkview School, Inc., 523 P.3d 1261 (Ariz. App. 2023).
Based on the foregoing, the Registrar will proceed with its investigation in this matter. If the Registrar issues a citation and the matter proceeds to hearing, you may present your arguments and evidence to the administrative law judge.
Sincerely,

Just to update since a week ago when this was sent:
The wine cellar was completed. Nothing else from this request has been completed
I was told Friday, as your guys were leaving, the security alarm for the main home is working. I appreciate that but they left without showing me how to use it- need that Monday as the home is furnished and I need to set alarm at night.
We are not getting very far with the lighting autonomation and I would like this stepped up please Marty. It takes forever for me to simply turn off the lights. There is no consistency for which button does what and very few do anything at all. Usually only 1 per station, and it rotates. Also dimming is an issue, can't make the lights "soft" as they go off at about 40% unlike what you did at my home in DM. We expect a CO this week and we need to get these done. We also need to schedule a tutorial...I have received no instruction or much of anything other than 10 minutes on how to do 1 of the TVs, nothing at all on how to manage HVAC, Security, etc.
Also, where are we on the TV lift for the kitchen? I have art but need to make sure this works.
How about shades automation tie-in as I am told shade people will be there Monday?
We need the low voltage exterior path lights set up on the C 4 timer to go on a dusk and off at 11:00 PM every day, same with water feature light in front ....this has been discussed several times going back as far as our Flagstaff meeting.
On a related note, they unnecessarily added three Control 4 switches to the garage...why? Only 1 was needed there by the entrance door.
Please provide the latest generator install and hook-up update.
I look forward to your response and hopefully full completion by end of the week.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Marty,
First of all, I want to compliment you on your people. They have great "people skills "and all very polite. It's very noticeable and appreciated and reflects highly on the PAVAZ culture.
Looking forward to finally getting the generator installed this week...please keep me informed of the schedule.
Please send me the TV proposal and the additions we are discussing to include: Skyvue 20 -43"TV outside by kitchen pass, add small TV same size (32")as exercise in Master bath, add 65" low end to the upper game room.
When will all the water bugs, the wine cellar control and alarms (both temp and security) be complete? The cameras for front and rear gates? The lower wine fridges are to be hooked up to alarm as well...recall they are equipped with wifi and alarms.
Also, when will all the exterior lights be complete? They need to be on timer dusk to midnight. We need to add the LV timers to the Control 4 system so they come on daily at dusk and off at midnight. The front water feature should run from AM until 11 PM daily.
Looking forward to completion!
Steve

Hope all is well with you.
In order to insure the Hideaway Lane home/property, Steve’s insurance company is requiring proof that Steve owns the home. Would you be able to provide a document proving ownership? It is quite urgent as Steve’s personal property is already in the home.

Jobsite Inspection Notes
Case No.: 2023-00332 Investigator: Chris Fultz Inspection Date: February 15, 2023 Inspection Time: 2:00 PM
Complainant: Scott Christian Respondent: Creative Pfeiffer Sonora West Development Environments Design and Landscape Inc Inc Not Present: Not Present:
Jobsite General Notes: JSI photos were taken with my Cell phone. JSI audio was recorded with my Olympus Digital Voice Recorder. Refer to Compliance JSI photos for reference. Photos and recordings have been uploaded to the case file.
On 02/15/2023 at about 1400 hours, I conducted a jobsite inspection at the home of Steve Newlin. The complaint was filed by the builder, Sonora West Development. All parties were present at the inspection.
There were several issues on the complaint and a couple other discussed at the inspection.
Work was completed and approved of the project on 06/28/2021. After the completion, the homeowner filed several complaints about the fountain not working properly. During those complaints, the respondent documented that fountain was not being properly maintained. The Respondent, then provided 4 weeks of free maintenance. After this time frame, the homeowner signed off on the fountain working perfectly. The homeowner was then responsible for the maintenance of his fountain. A heavy buildup of calcium and bee caucuses. There is no evidence to show poor workmanship. The fountain has more likely failed due to poor owner maintenance.
During the inspection the homeowner was also discussing issues with dead or dying plants. He stated that the irrigation system wasn’t working and this was the result. He also stated he has had other companies working on the system. There was also 2 guys there at the inspection making changes to the work. The ROC doesn’t have any recourse for a living plant dying. The ROC also cannot hold the respondent responsible for anything that has been altered or modified by others. 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Within AZ 877.692.9762 · Fax 602.542.1599 · roc.az.gov RCC100 08/19
We also looked at a couple of areas where the irrigation lines have come uncovered. This is a homeowner maintenance after the first year.
This case will be dismissed at this time.
Complaint Item: 1 - Deficient construction of water fountain; tile and grout issues; causing massive water loss - reported to Respondent on numerous occasions, but not remedied, and remains inoperable. Investigator’s Observation: Work was completed 06/28/2021. There were several complaints of the fountain not working. Documents show the fountain was not being properly maintained. After several visits to fix the poor maintenance of the fountain, the respondent provided 4 weeks of free maintenance. The homeowner again signed off on the fountain working. After being turned back over to the homeowner, it appears the fountain has not been properly maintained. There was a heavy buildup of calcium and bee caucuses.
Complaint Item: 2 - Original Contract Items Not Delivered/Installed, Nor Credit Issued: (1) 120 ft of steel edging for lower level turf; Queens’s mix for 14 pots-not applied; 20 tons Madison gold 2" depth - only 10 tons delivered and depth did not exceed 1".

(3) Downgrade of 6 boxed specimen Texas Laurels, Single trunk at $950.00 each, replaced by 6 potted pigmy palms and petunias, elephants trail at $290.00 each. Credit due for difference at $3,960.00. (4) Credit due for 200 feet pot sleeving and 14 drainage pottery which was not installed due to lack of project coordination by Respondent and Respondent's late start, as concrete was already poured. Credit due of $1,200.00. Total aggregate credit due: $16,979.70. Investigator’s Observation: This issue is a financial dispute between the parties.

Project: Roof Assessment
Inspection Date: 04/18/23
Inspector: Joshua Sawyer, RRO
WRECORP was retained to inspect the newly installed roof system at above listed address. This report contains WRECORP’s opinions on the existing conditions found at the time of inspection.
All opinions, conclusions and/or recommendations within this report are subject to change in the event that any additional information is discovered or brought to the attention of WRECORP.
Industry standards use: TRI (Tile Roofing Industry Alliance), NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association), and IBC (International Building Codes).
Summary: Upon arrival, WRECORP initiated the roof investigation to verify concerns raised by the client (MR. Newlin) regarding tile color and fading. A visual check of all the roof areas identified by the client was conducted, revealing that the roof tile color and sheen were not consistent. It was discovered that a non-UV stable black paint or coating had been applied to remedy minor chips and scratches, likely incurred during shipping and un/loading of the palletized clay tiles. The coating and/or paint used is not UV stable, allowing discoloration to occur. Furthermore, the inspection revealed that clay tiles in several locations were completely painted with this non-UV stable coating in an attempt to match the kiln-fired black color of adjacent tiles. A “scratch” test procedure was performed on the painted tiles to verify this condition. Coatings applied to this clay tile have only exacerbated the appearance, making it distinctively different from other portions of the roof, with chips and splotches remaining unresolved. Additionally, the investigation uncovered multiple clay tile installation concerns. Improper tile layout has caused multiple courses of tile to be "stretched," allowing the tile securement fastener to be visible. A minimum 3-inch overlap must be maintained for all tile, unless the tile design precludes it. The actual layout of the roof courses is determined by the length of the specific tile being installed, per Tile Roofing Institute (TRI) new construction requirements. Improper tile penetration flashing has been observed at multiple penetrations, as shown in the photo report below. Mortar used as weather blocking and tile securement has fractured throughout, leaving the roof system exposed to the elements. The mortar also appears to be painted with a spray-applied paint that has faded due to UV degradation. Proper attic ventilation has not been followed per TRI requirements, as indicated in the photo report below. Furthermore, perimeter tile fastening is not in compliance with table 1B of the TRI manual; multiple areas at hips or ridges and edges of eaves and gable rakes are missing fasteners. Lastly, construction debris has been noted throughout the roof system valleys and under the roof tile at inspected locations. In conclusion, the roof investigation revealed numerous installation deficiencies, including inconsistent tile color and sheen, improper tile layout, and penetration flashing, fractured mortar, and inadequate ventilation. The use of a non-UV stable black paint or coating only exacerbated the appearance of the chips and splotches, making them distinctly different from other portions of the roof. Proper tile securement was also lacking, and construction debris was present throughout the roof system. These deficiencies can lead to further deterioration of the roof system and should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage. Based on the investigation, the following non-compliant issues were found: • Inconsistent roof tile color and sheen due to non-UV stable black paint or coating used to remedy minor chips and scratches, which has exacerbated the appearance and caused discoloration. • Improper clay tile layout causing stretching of multiple courses and visible tile securement fasteners. • Improper tile penetration flashing observed at multiple penetrations. • Mortar used as weather blocking and tile securement has fractured throughout, leaving the roof system exposed to the elements. The mortar also appears to be painted with a spray applied paint that has faded due to UV degradation. • Lack of proper attic ventilation in violation of TRI requirements. • Perimeter tile fastening not in compliance with TRI table 1B, with missing fasteners at hips or ridges and edges of eaves and gable rakes. • Construction debris along with fractured tiles noted throughout roof system valleys and under the roof tile at inspected locations.

Project: Roof Assessment
Inspection Date: 04/18/23
Inspector: Joshua Sawyer, RRO
WRECORP was retained to inspect the newly installed roof system at above listed address. This report contains WRECORP’s opinions on the existing conditions found at the time of inspection.
All opinions, conclusions and/or recommendations within this report are subject to change in the event that any additional information is discovered or brought to the attention of WRECORP.
Industry standards use: TRI (Tile Roofing Industry Alliance), NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association), and IBC (International Building Codes).
Summary: Upon arrival, WRECORP initiated the roof investigation to verify concerns raised by the client (MR. Newlin) regarding tile color and fading. A visual check of all the roof areas identified by the client was conducted, revealing that the roof tile color and sheen were not consistent. It was discovered that a non-UV stable black paint or coating had been applied to remedy minor chips and scratches, likely incurred during shipping and un/loading of the palletized clay tiles. The coating and/or paint used is not UV stable, allowing discoloration to occur. Furthermore, the inspection revealed that clay tiles in several locations were completely painted with this non-UV stable coating in an attempt to match the kiln-fired black color of adjacent tiles. A “scratch” test procedure was performed on the painted tiles to verify this condition. Coatings applied to this clay tile have only exacerbated the appearance, making it distinctively different from other portions of the roof, with chips and splotches remaining unresolved. Additionally, the investigation uncovered multiple clay tile installation concerns. Improper tile layout has caused multiple courses of tile to be "stretched," allowing the tile securement fastener to be visible. A minimum 3-inch overlap must be maintained for all tile, unless the tile design precludes it. The actual layout of the roof courses is determined by the length of the specific tile being installed, per Tile Roofing Institute (TRI) new construction requirements. Improper tile penetration flashing has been observed at multiple penetrations, as shown in the photo report below. Mortar used as weather blocking and tile securement has fractured throughout, leaving the roof system exposed to the elements. The mortar also appears to be painted with a spray-applied paint that has faded due to UV degradation. Proper attic ventilation has not been followed per TRI requirements, as indicated in the photo report below. Furthermore, perimeter tile fastening is not in compliance with table 1B of the TRI manual; multiple areas at hips or ridges and edges of eaves and gable rakes are missing fasteners. Lastly, construction debris has been noted throughout the roof system valleys and under the roof tile at inspected locations. In conclusion, the roof investigation revealed numerous installation deficiencies, including inconsistent tile color and sheen, improper tile layout, non-compliant penetration flashings, fractured mortar, and inadequate ventilation. The use of a non-UV stable black paint or coating only exacerbated the appearance of the chips and splotches, making them distinctly different from other portions of the roof and adjacent tiles. Proper tile securement was also lacking, and construction debris was present throughout the roof system. These deficiencies can lead to further deterioration of the roof system and should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage.
Based on the investigation, the following non-compliant issues were found: • Inconsistent roof tile color and sheen due to non-UV stable black paint or coating used to remedy minor chips and scratches, which has exacerbated the appearance and caused discoloration. • Improper clay tile layout causing stretching of multiple courses and visible tile securement fasteners. • Improper tile penetration flashing observed at multiple penetrations. • Mortar used as weather blocking and tile securement has fractured throughout, leaving the roof system exposed to the elements. The mortar also appears to be painted with a spray applied paint that has faded due to UV degradation. • Lack of proper attic ventilation in violation of TRI requirements and local building codes. • Perimeter tile fastening not in compliance with TRI table 1B, with missing fasteners at hips or ridges and edges of eaves and gable rakes. • Construction debris along with fractured tiles noted throughout roof system valleys and under the roof tile at inspected locations.
Recommendations: Based on the investigation, it is strongly recommended that the entire roof tile system is removed and reinstalled to address the numerous installation deficiencies noted, including improper tile overlap, improper tile layout, improper tile penetration flashing, and improper perimeter tile fastening. Additionally, the underlayment should be replaced due to the damage caused by the removal of old battens, which could lead to moisture intrusion. The defective and improperly coated/painted clay tiles should be replaced, and a tinted mortar should be applied to the mortar caps where needed. All clay tiles that have not been painted/coated but contain scratches and chips will need to be replaced to comply with the desired aesthetic per manufactures notes to the roofing contractor, “The tile should not be installed yet if you find fault with the tile. Roofer/contractor should always inspect and layout the pieces before installation occurs.” Scratches and chips caused by shipping would be included under “fault” with the tile and should have not been installed. Construction debris, excess roof tiles, and fractured roof tiles should be remedied. It is also recommended that proper attic ventilation be installed in compliance with TRI requirements to ensure proper air flow and prevent moisture buildup. These corrective measures are necessary to ensure a proper and long-lasting roof system that meets industry standards and complies with local building codes. Photos below depict onsite conditions

Dismissal Letter Re: Complaint No. 2023-02231;
Dear Complainant:
The Registrar received and investigated your complaint. Section 32-1162(A) provides a two year statute of limitations for when a complaint must be filed with the Registrar, and prevents the Registrar from proceeding against a contractor on complaints that were not filed within the limitations period. Specifically, the complaint must be filed:
• For new home builds or other new building construction, within two years after the earlier of the close of escrow or actual occupancy. A.R.S. § 32-1162(A)(1). • For all other projects, within two years after the completion of the specific project. A.R.S. § 32-1162(A)(2).
Section 32-1162(A) prohibits the Registrar from proceeding against a contractor on complaints that were not filed timely. Based on the information submitted to the Registrar, the act was committed more than two years prior to the date of filing the complaint.
Therefore, the Registrar will not issue a citation in this matter. The complaint is hereby dismissed.
Please understand that nothing in this letter is intended to prevent you from seeking relief in another forum.

A Guide to Jobsite Inspections
Purpose of the Jobsite Inspection When the Registrar receives a complaint against a contractor’s license alleging poor workmanship, the Registrar generally schedules a Jobsite Inspection. The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.
Jobsite Inspection Rights and Responsibilities Access to inspect: The property owner has complete control over who they allow on the property. However, if the Registrar’s investigator or the contractor cannot inspect the work, the Registrar will not move forward with a citation.
Cooperation: Arizona law enables injured parties to seek relief for damages through several paths. When dealing with a licensed contractor, the Registrar of Contractors’ administrative complaint process may serve as one of those possible paths. However, in order to use that path, the Registrar relies on the cooperation of all parties to a complaint.
Minimum workmanship: The Registrar investigates workmanship complaints for compliance with minimum workmanship and professional industry standards. The Registrar does not issue citations for work that meets these standards.
Scope: The scope of the Jobsite Inspection is limited to items listed in the complaint filed with the Registrar’s office. It is the complainant’s responsibility to point out the complaint item(s) and the Investigators role to review the item(s). If the complainant identifies additional workmanship items not listed in the original complaint, they must file an addendum to the complaint. The Registrar’s Investigator may identify additional administrative violations by the contractor (e.g. work performed out of scope of the license and failure to provide a contract that meets requirements set by Arizona law) at the time of the inspection.
The Role of the Investigator At the Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s investigator will: ● Only investigate the items listed on the complaint form filed with the Registrar. ● Will gather evidence to make an informed decision about the complaint items.
What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will leave the jobsite and review the evidence provided during the inspection. Generally, the investigator does not make any determination at the time of the jobsite inspection regarding whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.
Questions? If you have already filed a complaint and it was assigned to an investigator, you are encouraged to contact that investigator directly with the information listed in your jobsite inspection letter. If you have not filed a complaint yet or have not been assigned an investigator, you can reach the Registrar’s compliance department at (877) 692-9762. 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Within AZ 877.692.9762 · Fax 602.542.1599 · roc.az.gov C008 05/21 Katie Hobbs, Governor Martín Quezada, Director
A Guide to Written Directives Purpose of the Jobsite Inspection When the Registrar receives a complaint against a contractor’s license, the Registrar generally schedules a Jobsite Inspection. The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.
What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will determine whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.
Written Directives Access: In order to use the administrative process offered by the Registrar, a property owner must provide reasonable access to allow the contractor to fix their work as directed by the Registrar in a Written Directive. Complainants may not put any additional, unnecessary restrictions on the Respondent above and beyond the initial contract requirements agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Respondents are required to make repairs on items identified on any Written Directive, not otherwise restricted by local code or HOA limitations. Complainants must make access available to the Respondent to make the required repairs and failure to provide reasonable access may result in the Registrar dismissing the complaint.
Contractor obligations: The Written Directive will set a deadline for compliance. This is the period of time determined by the Investigator as necessary to complete the items listed in the Directive. ● The deadline for compliance assumes the contractor will promptly begin working on the items listed in the Directive. ● Do not wait. Both parties should communicate quickly to schedule the work.
Extensions: If good cause exists to extend this deadline, either party may submit a written request to the Investigator. The Registrar will review requests for extension and determine if the Directive should be extended.
Manner and method of performance: The Registrar does not provide specific instructions for how to correct poor work. A licensed contractor is expected to have the skill and professionalism to complete the work. Moreover, the complainant may not dictate the manner of repair. If the contractor fails to appropriately correct the work according to the contract, the Registrar will issue a citation.
Compliance Inspection: After the Written Directive expires, the Registrar’s Investigator will contact the complainant to determine if the contractor performed any corrective work. ● If the contractor did corrective work, the Investigator may schedule a Compliance Inspection to determine if the poor work is corrected. ● If the contractor did not perform any corrective work, the Registrar’s Investigator will not do a Compliance Inspection and will determine whether to issue a citation based on the administrative record.
Work performed after the directive ends: After the Directive period ends, a property owner may choose to allow the contractor to continue its work. The Registrar encourages parties to work cooperatively, but cannot 1700 W.

require a homeowner to continue to allow a contractor access to the property after the Directive period ends in order for the administrative process to continue. Denying access after the Directive ends is not grounds to close or dismiss a complaint.

The Respondent Sonora West Development, Inc. (“Sonora West”) submits the following Answer to the Citation and Complaint:
ANSWERS TO COMPLAINT ALLEGATIONS
Sonora West denies any violation of Charge 1. Per Arizona Administrative Code Section R4-9- 108 - Workmanship Standards, the work was performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with appliable building codes and industry standards.
Sonora West denies any violation of Charge 2. Sonora West has and continues to take appropriate action. Any delays completing such work is justified based upon the circumstances. Due to the material being custom order, Sonora West is at the mercy of the suppliers to obtain the product needed for the written directive. It is a valid justification. Any incomplete work will be commenced once all materials arrive on site. Received 08/21/2023 ROC Legal
Motion to Dismiss - The Complaint, Case No 2023-02231, was filed well after the expiration of time allowance set forth by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. As a new home build, ROC guidelines clearly state the complaint must be filed within two years of Certificate of Occupancy or actual occupancy, whichever occurs first. The Complaint was submitted on March 13, 2023 surpassing the allowable two year period of the date of Occupancy thus voiding the Complaint in full and justifying dismissal. The Complainant actually occupied the residence in early March, placing his belongings in the residence as early as March 1, 2021. Additionally, the Complainant stayed overnight at the residence. As evidence of this, on March 8, 2021, the Complainant contracted and scheduled an independent building inspection to be performed on the home. The inspection results are detailed in the report set forth as Exhibit A and dated on the cover page of the report. This report clearly shows the Complainant occupied the home weeks prior to the Certificate of Occupancy issuance through the City of Scottsdale. The inspector’s pictures include notes referencing the Complainant doing laundry in the home, doing dishes in the dishwasher, artwork was hung, and personal belongings were put away in the closets and throughout the home. A photo taken on March 12, 2021 at 9:54 am shows the dining table fully set and a towel draped over the chair. The Certificate of Occupancy was not yet processed through the City of Scottsdale at that time. The Complainant’s belongings were moved into the home prior to Certificate of Occupancy issuance, changing construction access for the subcontractors. Subcontractors were then only allowed to access the property if the Complainant was on site and entrance would be allowed after ringing the doorbell. Additional evidence of Complainant’s actual occupancy is shown in attached Exhibit B, email correspondence dated March 2, 2021from the Complainant’s personal assistant showing urgency to provide ownership documents as the Complainant’s personal property was in the home already. Also included in Exhibit B, an email directly from the Complainant to a subcontractor stating the home was furnished and needed the alarm set at night on March 8, 2021. Complainant’s actual occupancy of the residence further corresponds to the definition of occupancy Arizona Revised Statue 33- 1002 (a)(2)(b) i and ii Complainant placed his belongings in the dwelling and stayed at the residence.
Responses to Compliance Jobsite Findings:
1. Complaint Item 1: The original tile order in 2020 took over four months to receive as this tile is custom made. Due to the extensive lead time, and the existence of marks/scratches on some of the tiles, a determination was made to paint the tiles in the field versus reordering more tile which would have delayed the entire project completion. The roofing subcontractor contacted the supplier and was advised painting the tile defects was the way to permanently fix the issue. On June 14, 2021, a courtesy inspection, through the ROC’s Building Confidence Program, was conducted under the direction of AZ ROC inspector, Chris Fultz. This inspection was requested by Sonora West to ensure the roof met workmanship standards. The owner unreasonably demanded a full new roof, however the report findings of this ROC inspection agreed the tile met the workmanship standards. Complaint of misaligned Received 08/21/2023 ROC Legal
tiles also met the standards as noted. A copy of this report is shown as Exhibit C. Our subcontractors relied on this report directly from the ROC confirming the roof workmanship was in line with the state standards and no action was taken at that time to alter the tiles. After a year of wear, it was clear the roof tiles were fading and Sonora West took action to solve the problem. On June 3, 2022 Sonora West sent a demand letter for action to the supplier, MCA Clay Roof Tile, and the subcontractor, Procap Roofing Services urging them to assist in correcting the roof tile issue. Our demands were not responded to by either party, pushing Sonora West, through legal representation to send a follow up demand letter August 3, 2022. Following unsuccessful efforts to obtain the cooperation of the supplier and subcontractor and agreed to by Complainant, Sonora West filed a lawsuit against the supplier and subcontractor on Jan17, 2023 requesting the remedy be demanded by the Complainant. A copy of the lawsuit is shown in Exhibit D which includes a copy of the August 22, 2023 demand letter. It wasn’t until the lawsuit was filed and both parties were served, that the resolution discussions began. A pre-site inspection between Sonora West, ProCap, and the Complainant’s roofing consultant, Joshua Sawyer from WRE Corp, was scheduled for July 5th. The roofing consultant was unable to attend as scheduled and Sonora West and ProCap walked the property to estimate and agree on the amount of material needed to perform the work in full. The Complainant authorized Procap to connect with the roofing consultant and allow him to oversee the needed roof repairs, repair protocols, and scheduling on his behalf delaying the initial meeting. Before that time, the Complainant demanded the replacement of the entire roof. Sonora West questioned the merit of the Complainant’s demand the entire roof needed to be replaced. The Complainant’s roofing expert also did not agree with the owner that the entire roof needed to be replaced. Communication continued between counsels and the details of the scope of work were agreed upon on July 19, 2023 by the Complainant. Per the written directive, Sonora West’s roofing scope was a narrow-focused agreement. Material demands from the roofing consultant, as agreed by the Complainant, allowing decision making on the finalized scope, changed this focus incurring more time and materials. Once the scope of work was agreed upon by all parties, the roofing material was ordered. The roof tile for the original install took four months to receive due to the custom special order tile process. The current estimation for the replacement tiles is 6-8 weeks for all material needed for the repairs. It was discussed and agreed at the Jobsite Compliance walk on July 31st, no work would start on the roof until all materials were on site due to the potential of causing harm to the underlayment during impending summer monsoon weather. Sonora West has had daily correspondence with the various parties involved, hammering the importance of material timeframe to begin the work. Our subcontractor, Procap, has committed to starting the work immediately upon delivery and acceptance of the material. The estimated delivery of the material is beyond our control. Sonora West has provided continued updates to the Complaint and the AZROC on current status of scope and timeframes when available. Received 08/21/2023 ROC Legal
There is no dispute the work will be completed through Sonora West. Sonora West has taken extensive steps to support the client in repairing the roof tiles. We are at the mercy of the manufacturer and suppliers to deliver the product on site in a timely manner.
2. Complaint Item 4: See response to Complaint Item 1.
3. Complaint Item 6: Mossman Pools completed the added curb at the water feature on June 30, 2023 as discussed at the Jobsite Review on May 15, 2023, therefore complying with the directive. The Complainant allowed an extra week for completion. The stucco has been replaced at the backwall. There is a slight hump at the side wall where the waterline tile was added and will be corrected and soothed. More material was ordered for the replacement and the repair is expected to be complete by September 7, 2023 when materials are estimated to arrive. This slight hump was discovered by the Complainant on the date of the Jobsite Compliance Investigate, July 31, 2023, which is a new issue.
4. Complaint Item 16: Sonora West requested to schedule the correction of Complaint Item and the Complainant denied access through his nonresponse to our scheduling requests. We requested to schedule 4 times over the span of 6/12/2023 and 6/13/2023. Sonora West tried to schedule Web Art (ROC 184598) for a detailed repair to the scratched cladding which was to include the entire door system. Sonora West has used Web Art many times and their work has impeccable results. The owner, William Bryant, was to perform the repair directly. This proposed correction was deemed as appropriate means. During the Compliance Jobsite Investigation on July 31, 2023, the Complainant provided more information and elaborated on his concerns and allowable correction restraints. With this new elaboration discussed on July 31, 2023 in the presence of the Inspector David Fagerburg, Carolyn Harrison, Vice President of Sonora West, agreed to provide the newly requested details. Over the course of the week following the jobsite inspection Ms. Harrison provided the requested documentation. Sonora West decided to replace the two panels at the great room door versus painting as initially discussed. Ms. Harrison contacted the Complainant on August 4, 2023 to confirm his agreeance with this option and he was unavailable to discuss as he stated he was out of the country. Ms. Harrison proceeded to request the order on August 4, 2023 with Sierra Pacific. The panels have an expected arrival date of September 18, 2023 – September 27, 2023. Due to the replacement of these panels requiring interior access, the install will be arranged in accordance with Complainant’s availability. Ms. Harrison and the Complainant had a follow up conversation on August 14, 2023 notifying the Complainant of the update response. The panels were purchased on August 4, 2023. and all means to contact the Complainant before ordering were exhausted and the Complainant did not want to be bothered at the time. Sonora West proceeded with the ordering of the two panels and will corrected as soon as the materials are available.

Smoke Alarm(s): Smoke/Co2 Condition of batteries Unknown. New batteries should be placed in all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors upon move in and replaced again according to manufactures recommendations. Without working smoke detectors in your home you have no rst alert to a possible re.
Smoke Alarm(s): Safety Tips Smoke alarms are powered by battery or by your home's electrical system. If the smoke alarm is powered by battery, it runs on either a disposable nine-volt battery or a non-replaceable 10-year lithium (long-life) battery. Alarms that get power from your home's electrical system, or hardwired, usually have a back-up battery that will need to be replaced once a year. A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat and re. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement. Smoke alarms should be interconnected. When one sounds, they all should sound. Large homes may need extra smoke alarms. Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working. There are two kinds of alarms. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about aming res. Photoelectric alarms are quicker to warn about smoldering res. It is best to use of both types of alarms in the home. A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove. People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers. Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old. Smoke alarms are an important part of a home re escape plan.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm(s): Education Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless toxic gas produced by furnaces and boilers during the combustion process and also by a stove top/oven. This gas is especially dangerous because its presence can only be detected by specialized instruments. You can't see it or smell it. Ine cient combustion, such as that caused by furnaces and boilers with components that are dirty or out of adjustment can create elevated levels of Carbon Monoxide in exhaust gasses. Carbon Monoxide can cause sickness, debilitating injury, and even death. Carbon Monoxide detectors are inexpensive and installing one in a home with a furnace, gas appliances or replace is recommended. Detectors should not be placed next to heating appliances, but should be placed to protect living and sleeping areas.

GFCI & AFCI OCCUPIED HOME LIMITATIONS All of the arc fault (AFCI) and/or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) devices in the main / sub distribution panel(s) may not have been tested for operation when the property is occupied. Most manufactures recommend that these devices be tested once a month to make sure they are operating properly and providing protection from arc / ground faults. A test button is located on the front of the device. The user should follow the instructions accompanying the device. If the device does not trip when tested it may be defective and replacement may be needed.
Smoke Alarm(s) DISCLAIMER Ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms detect di erent types of res. Since no one can predict what type of re might start in their home, the USFA recommends that every home and place where people sleep have:
Both ionization AND photoelectric smoke alarms. OR Dual sensor smoke alarms, which contain both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors.
Choose interconnected smoke alarms, so when one sounds, they all sound. There are also alarms for people with hearing loss. These alarms may have strobe lights that ash and/or vibrate to alert those who are unable to hear standard smoke alarms when they sound. Check the Date
1. We did not verify the type of alarm. 2. Smoke alarms have a limited service life and we did not verify the age of the alarm(s). 3. Testing smoke alarms may not guarantee that the alarms will function as intended during actual emergency conditions. 4. Smoke alarms should be installed according to the manufacturers instructions and we did not verify complete compliance with those instructions.

Hope all is well with you.
In order to insure the Hideaway Lane home/property, Steve’s insurance company is requiring proof that Steve owns the home. Would you be able to provide a document proving ownership? It is quite urgent as Steve’s personal property is already in the home.

Hi Marty,
Would you please get back to me on the items on this email from March 1?
Just to update since a week ago when this was sent:
The wine cellar was completed. Nothing else from this request has been completed
I was told Friday, as your guys were leaving, the security alarm for the main home is working. I appreciate that but they left without showing me how to use it- need that Monday as the home is furnished and I need to set alarm at night.
We are not getting very far with the lighting autonomation and I would like this stepped up please Marty. It takes forever for me to simply turn off the lights. There is no consistency for which button does what and very few do anything at all. Usually only 1 per station, and it rotates. Also dimming is an issue, can't make the lights "soft" as they go off at about 40% unlike what you did at my home in DM. We expect a CO this week and we need to get these done. We also need to schedule a tutorial...I have received no instruction or much of anything other than 10 minutes on how to do 1 of the TVs, nothing at all on how to manage HVAC, Security, etc.
Also, where are we on the TV lift for the kitchen? I have art but need to make sure this works.
How about shades automation tie-in as I am told shade people will be there Monday?
We need the low voltage exterior path lights set up on the C 4 timer to go on a dusk and off at 11:00 PM every day, same with water feature light in front ....this has been discussed several times going back as far as our Flagstaff meeting.
On a related note, they unnecessarily added three Control 4 switches to the garage...why? Only 1 was needed there by the entrance door.
Please provide the latest generator install and hook-up update.
I look forward to your response and hopefully full completion by end of the week.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Marty,
First of all, I want to compliment you on your people. They have great "people skills "and all very polite. It's very noticeable and appreciated and reflects highly on the PAVAZ culture.
Looking forward to finally getting the generator installed this week...please keep me informed of the schedule.
Please send me the TV proposal and the additions we are discussing to include: Skyvue 20 -43"TV outside by kitchen pass, add small TV same size (32")as exercise in Master bath, add 65" low end to the upper game room.
When will all the water bugs, the wine cellar control and alarms (both temp and security) be complete? The cameras for front and rear gates? The lower wine fridges are to be hooked up to alarm as well...recall they are equipped with wifi and alarms.
Also, when will all the exterior lights be complete? They need to be on timer dusk to midnight. We need to add the LV timers to the Control 4 system so they come on daily at dusk and off at midnight. The front water feature should run from 8 AM until 11 PM daily.
Looking forward to completion!
Steve
