Compliance Jobsite General Notes:

CJSI photos taken with my Google Pixel 3a work phone CJSI audio recorded with my Olympus DM-720 CJSI photos and audio have been placed into the Salesforce Case folder.

This case was submitted to the ROC on 9/27/23 and a JSI was held on 10/17/23. At the JSI the parties attempted to resolve the matter and the Complainant requested the complaint closed in order to allow the Respondent an opportunity to complete the Punch List items.

On 12/28/23, the Complainant requested the case be reopened after very little work was corrected.

I did another JSI on 1/22/24 and a Written Directive was issued with a due date of 2/28/23. During this time the Complainant had health issues and an Extension was granted for 3/30/24.

Due to scheduling around the Complainants availability the Compliance Inspection was conducted on 4/15/24.

At the time of the inspection, the Respondent still had employees working on the residence and had not completed many of the items or did not correct them by appropriate means.

While inspecting the roof I inquired who installed the roof. The Respondent advised his employee did but would not advise who. As the Respondent does not have any W2 employees, this would be a violation of A.R.S. §§ 32-1154(A)(9) and (13).

While discussing the roof the Respondent advised the woven valley was appropriate and that he could not find any information regarding this not being correct. I advised that I had already researched it and the industry standard as well as the manufacture advised against woven valleys. The Respondent began getting very aggressive and arguing. I moved away from his, as we were on a roof, and did not want either of us to fall. The Respondent asked is I was scared of him and I advised him why I was moving away and that the encounter was being recorded.

Once back on the ground, I easily looked up the installation instructions for the shingles and advised the Respondent of my findings. The Respondent later text me an apology.

Ultimately the Respondent has not complied with the Written Directive and more than reasonable timeline to correct the issues by appropriate means.

Compliance Findings:

Compliance Item: 2 - Added a step in garage entry hallway that is a tripping hazard and not on the plans

1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C013 12/23 Compliance Observation: This item was not completed at the time of the CJSI and was in progress by an employee of the Respondent. Investigator’s Observation: This does not meet Industry Standards and creates an unnecessary hazard. Governing Rule: Violation of any rule adopted by the Registrar; Namely A.A.C. R4-9-108(c): All work performed by a contractor in a county, city, or town that has not adopted building codes or where any adopted building codes do not contain specific provisions applicable to that aspect of construction work shall be performed in accordance with professional industry standards.

Compliance Item: 4 - Poor grading led to water getting under the house Compliance Observation: There was attempt to correct the grading however, in this attempt a vent for the crawl space was covered with soil and will allow seepage. The attempt to correct the issue was done by the use of Polyethylene tarp which is appropriate but the soil was not permitted to dry out prior to covering and locking in the moisture. As a result, there is still mushrooms growing in the crawl space and the soil is still saturated. The appropriate crawl space actions would have at a minimum to install a dehumidifier and correct the exterior penetration issues.
