602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C008 05/21 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.

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.

602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C008 05/21 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 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.

Kevin and Meghan,
Take a look at the countertop change order. It's a bit pricy but the reason is because outdoor we do not recommend using anything less than 3 cm thick slabs.
Timeline could be about 2 weeks to completion. If you want us to handle it you'd have to go "tag" the slabs at AZ tile and then I would arrange for them to be delivered to our fabrication shop to be cut.

Hi Tyler,
I have a couple of questions on specifics to make sure everything was accounted for:
1. What edging is planned/included? We want an eased edge. Do you do a mitered waterfall edge? 2. The measurements and CO included the 1' overhang on the island correct? 3. The CO includes everything needed to support the overhangs on the island and bar correct? 4. This only includes waterfalls for the main counter and island right? 5. The CMU for the bar on the side of the house near the flagstone was built too large, it was supposed to be ~8" out from the flagstone (see detail below) and was instead built out 20" because of the footprint of some concrete that was there before that
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=593f075ce0&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:[number redacted]&simpl=msg-f:[number redacted]… 2/25 10/12/23, 2:42 PM Gmail - Granite countertop change order was not demoed. I wanted to make sure this accounts for that mistake/change and still has a 10" bar overhang in that area
6. Our grill, griddle, double burner, and bar all have a required notch on the countertops that will need to be accounted for in templating and fabrication. 7. I'd like to be provided final templates and sign off on them prior to fabrication. Is this possible? 8. How do we tag the slabs if we're not the ones purchasing them AZ tile? We want to avoid the confusion and issues that happened with our pot selections at the plant stand. We'd prefer you guys just select them since there is not much variation in the granite we selected.

1. What edging is planned/included? We want an eased edge. Do you do a mitered waterfall edge. Since on the bbq it's 3 cm, yes the edge will be a clean, eased edge. No laminate on the edge. For the waterfall edge, yes it has to be a mitered 45° edge. 2. The measurements and CO included the 1' overhang on the island correct? Yes. The top is measured at 51 inches so, 1 foot overhang on both the countertop and waterfall. 3. The CO includes everything needed to support the overhangs on the island and bar correct? Yes. 1 foot will not need any supports plus the waterfall will add for strength. 4. This only includes waterfalls for the main counter and island right? Correct, the BBQ and ISLAND. 4 total waterfalls. 5. The CMU for the bar on the side of the house near the flagstone was built too large, it was supposed to be ~8" out from the flagstone (see detail below) and was instead built out 20" because of the footprint of some concrete that was there before that was not demoed. I wanted to make sure this accounts for that mistake/change and still has a 10" bar overhang in that area The change order did NOT INCLUDE the area by the house. Let's discuss if needed. image.png 6. Our grill, griddle, double burner, and bar all have a required notch on the countertops that will need to be accounted for in templating and fabrication. No problem. We just need everything on site at time of fabrication 7. I'd like to be provided final templates and sign off on them prior to fabrication. Is this possible? That should be fine but he says he does the cuts on site since it's only square pieces. 8. How do we tag the slabs if we're not the ones purchasing them AZ tile? We want to avoid the confusion and issues that happened with our pot selections at the plant stand. We'd prefer you guys just select them since there is not much variation in the granite we selected. I can tag slabs, no problem. I'm there quite often and can send pictures for approval.

Tyler,
To recap a convo I had with Bill over he phone and what Kevin had discussed in person, we are looking for a bid on all countertops. I’m not sure why we would only want to have partial work done. Please provide a full quote.
Thank you, Meghan Molloy [Quoted text hidden]

Hey Meghan,
We can provide a full quote to include the serving counter as well. I had our CAD department draw up plans, including seam placement, for what will be quoted out.
Tyler has sent this over to our countertop fabricator and we'll get back to you shortly on a price.

Hi Bill,
The dimensions provided are to the original plans, but there are issues with them compared to what was built I want to make sure we are accounting for.
BBQ Counter - Width needs to be 37.5". 34.5 masonry + 1.5 veneer + 1.5 edge. I have one additional question about the back edge of this counter. As designed, the back edge will end right where the masonry ends on the sections that don't have the wall. Is this going to look weird if there is not even a small overhang on this edge? Would we need to do a cut around the wall if we wanted to do some sort of overhang here? Island - Width on this needs to be 51", which is the number Tyler had in the prior email. 34.5 masonry + 3" veneer + 1.5" edge + 12" overhang Bar counter - As discussed earlier, the bar counter was not built correctly. Here are just the existing masonry dimensions, which are significantly larger than the plans without accounting for veneer/edge/overhang
We'd like to get the masonry here corrected to the plans. What's here will stick out ~16" farther than the plans and will be too large to function well in that space once the pool fence goes in. We'd also like the asymmetry to be fixed.
Thanks, Kevin Molloy

Hi Tyler,
I have a couple of questions on specifics to make sure everything was accounted for: 1. What edging is planned/included? We want an eased edge. Do you do a mitered waterfall edge? 2. The measurements and CO included the 1' overhang on the island correct? 3. The CO includes everything needed to support the overhangs on the island and bar correct? 4. This only includes waterfalls for the main counter and island right? 5. The CMU for the bar on the side of the house near the flagstone was built too large, it was supposed to be ~8" out from the flagstone (see detail below) and was instead built out 20" because of the footprint of some concrete that was there before that was not demoed.

Take a look at the countertop change order. It's a bit pricy but the reason is because outdoor we do not recommend using anything less than 3 cm thick slabs.
Timeline could be about 2 weeks to completion. If you want us to handle it you'd have to go "tag" the slabs at AZ tile and then I would arrange for them to be delivered to our fabrication shop to be cut.

Good morning Molloy's,
Just a quick update on the countertop. AZ tile was a bit delayed in getting the slabs over to our fabricator but he got them last week. They have a couple of other jobs in line before ours but they have confirmed an installation date of Saturday, August 12th.

If the counters are going in on the 12th, when does the undermount sink need to be installed?

Hi Bill,
To recap our convo over the phone, the countertop installers are here today. They installed the counter around the stone chimney for the bar ledge. We saw immediately it was incorrect.
Kevin went out to speak with Joel and they said someone at Lavender told them the overhang only needed to be 3 1/2 inches on all sides. We do not know where this mistake and miscommunication is coming from, but it is frustrating to say the least.
You have communicated to us that this will be fixed, and we expect it to be fixed promptly.
I am attaching photos of what was installed for reference; which you said would be removed today as to not cause more issues with our original stone if you were to prolong removal.
Thanks, Meghan Molloy

Hi Bill and Tyler,
There are additional issues. I was very specific that I wanted the island to be 51" wide. Tyler said that number, I confirmed that number, I was told it would be 51". It is 49.5". The overhang is 12 inches without the veneer, which is again not what we discussed or in the plans, it's 1.5" too small. What is the disconnect here where go over an exact number and it doesn't get executed?
I also have issues with the space between the counters. It's supposed to be 36". We talked on multiple occasions with Derek that we wanted to make sure that that would be 36". The final product is 32". We are not happy with how narrow that is.
There are also issues with the notches for the appliances. The overhang is too large, so the appliances won't sit flush to the veneer now. This needs to be discussed.
Thanks, Kevin [Quoted text hidden]

Hello,
There are a couple more things I want to address
1. Meghan and I found 9 razor blades scattered around our property today, 3 just laying on the travertine, one in the dirt near the spa, one on the east planters, one on the planter next to the spa, one that fell down the gap between the spa and surround that is partially under the spa, one on a cutout in the kitchen, and one on our kitchen window ledge. We also found about 20+ cardboard sleeves for the razor blades scattered about, so there are likely more we haven't found. There was also a sawblade sitting near the spa. I have found 12-15 razor or saw blades laying around our property throughout construction. We have a toddler and dogs, it is completely unacceptable to leave razor blades all around our yard. 2. I made it clear multiple times and I told Joel yesterday that I needed to be able to repackage and store the BBQ equipment. They completely destroyed the boxes and packaging for the two items they opened. They also did not return any of the 4 instruction manuals I gave them to use for the cutouts, so I have no manuals to provide for installation.
Thanks, Kevin Molloy [Quoted text hidden]

Good morning Kevin and Meghan,
I hate to do this but I had a family emergency come up this morning that I need to take care of. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience but it probably going to keep me out of the office for a majority of the day.
Can we reschedule our meeting for tomorrow or Wednesday? Let me know what works best. I spoke to Joel and he’s going to confirm today, but should have the drink counter redone and re-installed Wednesday or Thursday. The other piece is not adhered and will slip right off. He said due to how late it was on Saturday they cleaned up the best they could and will address and of the remaining trash.
Thanks,

Hi Bill,
We have already rearranged our days to make sure that we are available. Lavender has canceled multiple meetings on us last minute. We prefer to meet today. You have said on multiple occasions over the last few weeks that you would meet with us on a variety of things (breeze block, fence, etc.) and we have not had a meeting. When was the last time you were on-site at our project?
For the counters, I do not want any additional work being done until ALL of the issues have been discussed. The countertop that needs to be removed is at least partially adhered, there is visible caulk or glue and it doesn't have any give, so that part is just not true. I also want to say upfront that that counter was a single piece and we will not accept that being replaced with multiple slabs, it needs to be replaced with a single piece. Also to be clear, my issue is not trash, my issue is that 11 (I found another) razor blades were left out in areas where people walk barefoot and where my toddler goes. I want to be clear that if I find any more razor blades following any additional work it's going to be a problem.

Who at Lavender is currently managing our project? There have been multiple changes with no communication, so I do not know if Bill is even the person we should be talking to on this issues. Whoever is managing our project, when was the last time they were on-site?
We do not get status updates without asking, subs randomly show up and knock on the door and ask to speak to us on issues, and materials arrive that require signatures with no notice. We work and can't be available whenever you feel like. Things need to be scheduled and communicated, or you guys need to be on-site to handle these things. You are being paid to manage our project, and it's not getting done.
Thanks, Kevin [Quoted text hidden]

Bill,
In addition to the meeting this week, we absolutely need our job site cleaned up this week. If you can ensure that happens, it would be appreciated. The current debris has been sitting in the street and overflowing on to our berms for several months. Our job site has repeatedly not been cleaned up as promised.
To make the situation worse, our neighbors are complaining and sending us angry letters which we received yesterday. See attached photos.

Hey guys, I was not aware construction has been stopped.
When you meet with Bill today can you guys confirm you left town and this was the earliest ring available to meet to discuss the project? It was my understanding Kevin did not want any work to be done until this meeting took place?

C012 05/21 Kevin Molloy Jan 5, 2024, 5:07 PM (5 days ago) to me, Bill
Hi Investigator Melton,
Below is an updated list of all the compliance items with an updated status for each. I've highlighted the ones that have changed since I provided the original list on 11/20/2023. I collected the emails and permits discussed today, as well as some images highlighting specific items, an additional email conversation around the island rebuild, and the agreed-upon updated detail plans. The total file size was around 60 MB, so I have shared these with the addresses in this thread via Google drive. Here is the link. Let me know if there are issues accessing these documents.
• Compliance Item 6: Countertop was reinstalled on 12/9. Countertop has the same issue, it does not have the correct overhang and it is crooked. • Compliance Item 7: Countertop was partially reinstalled, but is not to updated plans. Bar overhang was the primary concern is still an issue, it will be 10.5" instead of 12" per the updated plans • Compliance Item 8: Countertop is only partially reinstalled, so cannot be assessed at this time. • Compliance Item 9: No change since inspection on 10/12. We were told 11/20 that this would be resolved when all countertops get installed. It was not addressed when the countertops were reinstalled • Compliance Item 10: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 11: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 12: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 13: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 14: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 15: Breeze block selection was made and has been installed. Block is complete except for paint. • Compliance Item 16: Work resumed on the Ipe veneers on 11/6. Progress has been made over the last few weeks, but only the firepit, kitchen wall and backyard planters are complete. Additional ipe material was delivered 1/4. • Compliance Item 17: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 18: Waterline was confirmed to be missing at time of complaint and was run at the end of August. Believed to be resolved, but it hasn't been confirmed to be working. Waterline is also visibly exposed in several spots and only buried a few inches at most. I don't believe that this was installed at a proper depth when run. • Compliance Item 19: Gas line has been extended with the shutoff valve in accessible location, but the line extension is not secured to the structure and to my knowledge the line has now been modified twice without being reinspected. • Compliance Item 20: Electrical on the island was redone when masonry was rebuilt 11/17 and 11/18, no change to other outlets. I believe there are still outstanding issues on the existing counter and the new work is not complete at this point. • Compliance Item 21: Trellises were reinstalled 1/4/2024. North trellis is not level and 1 inch crooked to the wall. • Compliance Item 22: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 23:Countertop install is not complete and this cannot be assessed at this time. • Compliance Item 24: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 25: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 26: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 27: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 28: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 29: Firepit cap was redone near the end of October and appears to resolved. Firepit veneer not complete to confirm issue is resolved. • Compliance Item 30: See compliance item 29 • Compliance Item 31: Travertine on steps was replaced on 8/31, but there is still an issue with the tile edge on the risers. • Compliance Item 32: No change since inspection on 10/12. As of 11/20, none of the step lights for the spa are working and the lights in two of our planters are no longer working as well. As of 1/4/24, the additional issues from 11/20 were resolved but the step light in the original complaint is still not working • Compliance Item 35: Hole has been patched, but the repair is extremely rough and not completed to the standards we would expect • Compliance Item 36: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 37: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 38: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 39: This has been resolved • Compliance Item 40: Majority of issue resolved at the end of August, but still some issues with damage to surrounding tiles. No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 41: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 42: Resolved on 8/31. • Compliance Item 43: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 47: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 48: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 50: The pool was drained and acid washed at the end of September. The original issues were mostly improved or resolved, but there are new issues with the finish in the deep end near the drain cover. • Compliance Item 52: Misting fan and pump have been physically installed. Water is not run to misting pump, pump waterline is not complete to the fan, and the electrical to both is not currently working. • Compliance Item 53: Can lights have been installed, but electrical is not currently working • Compliance Item 54: No change since inspection on 10/12. Masonry for island was rebuilt and has new cutout dimension issues and went through the existing cutouts during meeting on 11/20 and there were 2 existing cutouts that still had issues. Discovered additional centering issue with sink and faucet when correcting cutouts on the new island. • Compliance Item 56: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 57: This has been resolved. Steel band has been installed and painted. • Compliance Item 58: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 59: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 60: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 61: Toungue and groove has been stained. Not happy with quality of work, stain is very blotchy. Reached out to Lavender on 12/26 when the work was performed regarding quality and were told they would give us options to potentially resolve and have not heard back. • Compliance Item 62: No change since inspection on 10/12 • Compliance Item 63: Remaing paint was completed, but concrete issues were not addressed. • Compliance Item 64: No change since inspection on 10/12
Let me know if you need anything else from me.

Compliance Item: 1 - "I need gutters to alleviate flooding in my backyard. I contacted Kanmar Construction. Josh said he would need to replace the patio cover in order to replace the gutters. He said they could do it that weekend or the next. When they didn't come out, I thou Investigator’s Observation: The contract was written 7/20/2020 to rebuild an incorrectly installed rear patio cover, install 6” gutters and downspout on the front and back of the house for $5391. That same day, the homeowner told me and showed where Josh (owner of Kanmar Construction LLC) tarred and caulked a patch on the roof on the front of the house, near where the gutters were to go. That area had been leaking into her house. This item was not on the contract and no compensation was given. This was the only work that was done. On 7/21/2020 The homeowner delivered a check for half in person to Joshua Scott at the Kanmar building. The check was for $2696. Josh advised the homeowner verbally the work would be done within the next two weeks. By the middle of August, the work had not been started. So she contacted Kanmar and asked for at least the gutters to be done. Still no one showed up to do the work. She contacted the office at Kanmar and was told she was on the schedule for September, but still heard nothing. On September 8, 2020, she sent an email and a letter via USPS to Kanmar advising she still wanted the work done and asked for a response by 9/19/2020. In October she reports that she called and went to Kanmar’s office several times trying to get the work done. On 10/14/2020 she found Josh at the Kanmar office. He advised he would get back to her the following Friday. She advised he acted as though she had cancelled the contract, which she did not do. He never called her back. At the end of November, she went to Kanmar again and Josh was there. He told her the cost of materials had increased and instead of costing the original amount of $5391, it would not cost her $6927 and he couldn’t give her credit for what she had already paid.

Josh told her he had returned the material for her job and had not received a credit. On 12/1/2020 Josh told her he would give her a $1000 credit for materials he had in the shop. The homeowner, Linda Flynn, provided me with a copy of her written statement during the inspection and a copy of the second bid. She also emailed me copies of a text message thread she had with Josh following his second bid, and copies of the email and letter she had written 9/8/2020 asking them to do the work they had contracted to do in July (before there was any talk of a second bid.) Joshua Scott, Kanmar, was not present for the inspection. On 12/18/2020, I had called and spoke with Josh for the Adverse Action call. He asked why we were setting up an inspection. He said, “We never even started the job. She, she signed the contract and we ordered the material and then she said she didn’t want to do the the patio cover and then so she said she didn’t want to do it so I, I cancelled the order and or well we cancelled the contract and then a couple of months later she came back and said you know what, can I get it done now? And I said we’d have to redo the whole contract.” I asked if he had any documents to verify that and he said he thought so. He said his daughter works the office and he would talk to her. I advised him he was welcome to work this out with the Complainant before the inspection date. On 12/29/2020, a warning letter was sent to Kanmar for elelements of a contract and on 12/31/2020 the inspection notice was sent via email and USPS to Kanmar with the date of the inspection. Josh has made no attempts to contact me. The homeowner said that Josh and/or Kanmar did not contact her in the past 30 days and none of her money has been returned. Due to the Respondent cancelling the contract, this appears to be abandonment. Governing Rule: Abandonment of a contract or refusal to perform after submitting a bid on work without legal excuse for the abandonment or refusal.
