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 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · 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.

Finally on March 20th Mark Kilmer from Jeld-Wen came to my house to measure for a new sliding glass door and new master bedroom window. He informed me that new ones will be installed in about 6 weeks.

I’ve been waiting and decided to call a couple of weeks ago and they gave me a case number #03608729 and that they would get back to me. I didn’t hear from them so I decided to call 6/26/23. After being on the phone with them all morning I was informed that they tried to call Tim Troy on March 24th. They did not hear back from Tim, so on April 22nd they closed the case. (They actually had 7 windows from different units that needed replacement and since they didn’t hear back on those - they were also closed. They were supposed to be for units 102, 106, 204 & 205)

I talked to Tammy the supervisor on 6/26/23 and she gave me a new case number #3866129. She said after several attempts to reach Tim Troy to avail. That Tim Troy negligently let the warranty expire on the bedroom window but in good faith she will send us a new window and frame for the master bedroom. Tammy said the installation would be the responsibility of the contractor. This will have to also include to have it installed which will also require to have someone to repair drywall and paint the inside around the window plus have someone fix the outside stucco and paint the outside stucco. Etc. She will also send us a new sliding glass door that leads out to our patio and my understanding is that they will install the slider, but once again we will have to pay for painting inside around the slider and painting stucco on the outside.

After this jobsite investigation the respondent provided an email from Jeld-Wen, the manufacturer of the windows and sliding glass doors and an email from the HOA for the complex informing residents, including the complainant that the window problems will be taken care of on August 2, 2023 under the manufacturer’s warranty.

REGISTRAR OF CONTRACTORS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA

Marianne Naples Case No. 2023-05970 COMPLAINANT v.

Bannack Construction LLC License No. ROC 200811

RESPONDENT

RESPONDENT’S ANSWER TO CITATION Respondent Bannack Construction LLC responds to the Citation issued on September 6, 2023 as follows:

1. Respondent denies each and every allegation of the Citation unless specifically admitted herein.

2. Timothy Troy is responding to this Citation as the Manager/Operator of Bannack Construction LLC.

3. Respondent denies violations of A.A.C. R4-9-108(a) and A.R.S Section 32-1154(A)(22) and any and all other violations of any rule adopted by the Registrar and Arizona Revised Statutes.

4. Respondent states that Timothy Troy and Bannack Construction LLC ceased contracting in Arizona in March 2023 and Mr. Troy moved back to his home state of Montana. Mr. Troy has held an Arizona contractor’s license since 2004. Bannack Construction LLC or Mr. Troy have never had any complaint filed against either of them prior to this complaint. Neither Bannack Construction LLC or Mr. Troy intend to ever contract in Arizona again. Wanting to conclude work in Arizona on a professional and positive note, rather than avoid the expense of correcting items complained of by Ms. Naples, Mr. Troy contacted the subcontractors who had worked on the job in question at Rancho Verde del Rio and directed them to do the work that needed to be done as outlined in Received 09/20/2023 ROC Legal

the complaint. Although supervising the work from Montana has been challenging, most of the items that needed attention were taken care of, with the exception of 5 items that were listed as not completed after the compliance inspection as responded to below. It should be noted that the homeowner/complainant has been dilatory to efforts to fix items in need of repair or replacement and her words and manner have been hostile and defamatory.

5. Interior floor tile and grout (2 items). The subcontractor’s people spent 2-3 days in the unit replacing tile with excessive lippage and re grouting most of the unit. The investigator informed Mr. Troy during a phone call on August 31 that he found 3 tiles that were 1/64” over the allowable lippage. He also had a concern about the grout. At this point the grout may not have had time to completely cure. The tile subcontractor’s lead man tried to go back into the unit to check for out of spec tile and check the grout before the compliance inspection and was denied access by the owner.

6. Mortar splash on the exterior stone work. The exterior stone contractor returned to the job site and pressure washed the exterior stone to remove mortar that had splashed on the stone, but missed two spots, one 1’x 6’ on the south side of the building, and one 1’x 2’ on the north side of the building. Those spots were to be cleaned Friday, September 15, 2023.

7. Missing mortar on exterior stone work. There was 1”x1” spot where mortar was missing on the south side exterior stone work. That was to be fixed on Friday, September. 15, 2023.

8. Inadequate paint coverage on exterior board. There is one board on the south side of the exterior of the building that the investigator said had inadequate paint coverage. This did not get painted.

9. Of the initial complaint filed by the owner, fifteen (15) items were verified as needing action. Bannack used its best efforts to get them fixed. Forty- two (42) items were not verified or required no action. As of this date only 5 items remain at issue and Bannack has spent at least $2,344.68 addressing the complaint items and subcontractors have spent a considerable amount of time and money doing warranty work to address these complaint items.

10. As Bannack’s manager/operator is in Montana, Bannack hereby requests that Timothy Troy be allowed to attend any hearing on behalf of Bannack Construction via telephone. Received 09/20/2023 ROC Legal

WHEREAS, Bannack Construction LLC requests the Citation be dismissed and that the Complaint be denied and dismissed and for all other proper relief.

Dated September 19, 2023
