Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C008 12/23 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 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C008 12/23 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 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812 602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C008 12/23 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 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.

Case No.: 2024-01592 Investigator: Mark Nipp Inspection Date: 3/19/2024 Inspection Time: 8:30 AM
Complainant: Respondent: Pamela Stephens Barcelo Builders LLC Not Present: ☐ Not Present: ☒
Jobsite General Notes: This complaint contains an overlapping list of 295 allegations organized by specific location within specific rooms/areas of the property. In the interest of providing the clearest depiction of my observations, I am combining/condensing my observations and findings into condition categories with a list of locations where the condition was observed. Many of the allegations are repeated and those will be combined into a single item as appropriate.
Compliance Item #1: ALL LVP: Flooring installed before concrete properly cured and leveling incomplete
Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified - Insufficient Evidence
There is Insufficient Evidence to determine if the flooring was/was not installed prior to the concrete and leveling being fully cured.

Governing Rule: N/A
Compliance Item #2: ALL LVP: Moisture barrier underlayment not installed under all LVP per manufacturer instructions
Investigator’s Observation: Verified

602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov RCC100 08/19
The Complainant pointed out that the LVP flooring at the front door could be gently pulled up. The Complainant pulled the flooring up about ½ inch and I could see there was no underlayment.
The flooring is manufactured by Cali Vinyl Longboards. I reviewed the installation instructions and noted that an underlayment is required, pursuant to the floating click-lock luxury vinyl longboards plank installation manual (20240322_Cali floors LVP installation guide_2024-01592) which state the following:
During installation, it is the installer’s responsibility to document all jobsite conditions and measurements including the installation date, site relative humidity, temperature, and subfloor moisture content. This information must be retained by the installer and left with the property owner as a permanent record. For a complete list of points to address prior to installation, refer to the NWFA Jobsite checklist.
Even though CALI Vinyl Longboards Plank Flooring is waterproof it is NOT considered a moisture barrier. CALI always requires the use of a moisture barrier (like 6mil plastic) on concrete.
The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

Compliance Item #3: All new interior walls: We doubt insulation was installed or that it was up to code if it was installed
Investigator’s Observation: Not Verified - Insufficient Evidence
I could not see if there was/was not insulation in the walls because they had all been finished with drywall.
No further action is required.

Governing Rule: N/A
Compliance Item #4: Baseboards: Where new ones are installed, they are not flush with LVP flooring in some areas
Investigator’s Observation: Verified
I inspected three areas in the front rooms where the baseboards did not meet the LVP flooring. The areas surrounding the gaps were tight to the LVP flooring. The LVP flooring is installed as a floating floor and requires an expansion gap in order to expand/contract with environmental changes without causing the floor to buckle. The baseboards effectively ‘pin’ the floor in place which can lead to the failure of the floor. The gaps seen are indicative of improper leveling of the subfloor.
The flooring is manufactured by Cali Vinyl Longboards. I reviewed the installation instructions and noted that an expansion gap is required, pursuant to the floating click-lock luxury vinyl longboards plank installation manual (20240322_Cali floors LVP installation guide_2024-01592) which state the following:
Expansion gaps: Even though CALI Vinyl Longboards Plank will have very minimal expansion and contraction it is still required to leave 1/4” expansion space around the perimeter as well as all fixed objects (tile, fireplace, cabinets).

Investigator’s Observation: Verified
I saw that the tile/LVP flooring transition was completed with some type of silicon applied between the two types of flooring material. The silicon was cracking and peeling away. Correction Required
I also noted that the transition between the two flooring types was not level (P14). I used a 9 inch level as a straight edge and the tile/LVP transition is ‘peaked’, causing the level to rock end to end. The peaked transition causes a tripping hazard. Correction Required.
The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

The Complainant alleges that the Respondent pulled a ‘Minimum Combination’ building permit, which does not require plan review from the city, instead of a full building permit which they believe was required for this project. I reviewed the City of Scottsdale website and located a brief description of when certain types of building permits are required (20240320_Scottsdale-Types of Permits_2024- 01592). The compliance items listed above allege poor workmanship for pulling the incorrect permit for the following work performed by the Respondent;
(a). New electrical circuits, switches, outlets, and lighting (including underground electric for various locations). (b). Removing a bath tub and replacing with a shower. (c). Adding and/or moving HVAC ducting/chase.

(d). Structural modifications (enlarging door openings, removing 30 feet of exterior CMU wall and replacing with wood framed wall, etc.). (e). Addition of interior space at front door entry. (f). Constructing a new 30 foot ling CMU wall in the front yard. (g). Constructing a new portico entry with trellis cover attached to the front of the house. (h). Relocating roof drainage scuppers. (i). Adding new windows in CMU exterior walls. (j). Adding new plumbing (pot filler, new sink location moved water softener, etc.). (k). Remove/Replace load bearing wall with beam. (l). Filled sunken rooms with concrete. (m). Construction of new parapet wall on rear of home. I searched the City of Scottsdale building permits and located a single permit issued on 07/05/2023 and signed electronically by [email redacted] (20240320_Building Permit-Minimum Combination-295197_2024-01592). The permit is a ‘Minimum Combination’ permit. I also vied the associated inspection report for that permit and noted that on 02/08/2024 Scottsdale Inspector Jim Hennigan failed the Plumbing Underground, Rough Plumbing, Rough Electric, Rough Mechanical, and Rough Frame and Insulation inspections (20240320_Building Permit 295197-Inspection Report_2024-01592). The Complainant provided the handwritten ‘Stop Work’ inspection report dated 02/08/2024 in which Inspector Hennigan made the following notes, “Work covered prior to inspections. Wrong permit type; Need addition permit with structural change. New patio cover @ front of home. New parapet walls around perimeter of roof.

Re:Complaint No. 2024-01592
WRITTEN DIRECTIVE FROM THE REGISTRAR
Dear Respondent:
After investigation, the Registrar determined that you failed to meet the requirements of A.R.S. § 32-1154(A), and now issues this Directive requiring you to take appropriate corrective action. Failure to comply with this Directive constitutes a violation of A.R.S. § 32-1154(A)(22) and may result in the issuance of a citation, discipline of your license, and a civil penalty pursuant to A.R.S. § 32-1154(E) of up to $500.00. You must notify the Registrar’s assigned Investigator of your compliance with this Directive prior to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2024.
RESTRICTIONS You may not perform or hire other contractors to perform work that is outside the scope of your license. If your license is currently suspended for administrative reasons1, or is inactive, expired, or cancelled, you may not perform any corrective work nor contract in any manner, which includes hiring other contractors to perform work, until the suspension of your license(s) has been lifted or your license(s) has been reactivated.
DIRECTIVE REQUIREMENTS You are directed to remedy the following violations by the appropriate means:
Compliance Item #2: ALL LVP: Moisture barrier underlayment not installed under all LVP per manufacturer instructions
Investigator’s Observation: Verified
This means the license is suspended for lack of qualifying party, lack of bond, nonrenewal, Recovery Fund payout, or for any reason listed in A.R.S. § 32-1124(F). 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 · Phoenix AZ 85007-2812
602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C009 04/21 The Complainant pointed out that the LVP flooring at the front door could be gently pulled up. The Complainant pulled the flooring up about ½ inch and I could see there was no underlayment.
The flooring is manufactured by Cali Vinyl Longboards. I reviewed the installation instructions and noted that an underlayment is required, pursuant to the floating click-lock luxury vinyl longboards plank installation manual (20240322_Cali floors LVP installation guide_2024-01592) which state the following:
During installation, it is the installer’s responsibility to document all jobsite conditions and measurements including the installation date, site relative humidity, temperature, and subfloor moisture content. This information must be retained by the installer and left with the property owner as a permanent record. For a complete list of points to address prior to installation, refer to the NWFA Jobsite checklist.
Even though CALI Vinyl Longboards Plank Flooring is waterproof it is NOT considered a moisture barrier. CALI always requires the use of a moisture barrier (like 6mil plastic) on concrete.
The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

Compliance Item #4: Baseboards: Where new ones are installed, they are not flush with LVP flooring in some areas
Investigator’s Observation: Verified
I inspected three areas in the front rooms where the baseboards did not meet the LVP flooring. The areas surrounding the gaps were tight to the LVP flooring. The LVP flooring is installed as a floating floor and requires an expansion gap in order to expand/contract with environmental changes without causing the floor to buckle. The baseboards effectively ‘pin’ the floor in place which can lead to the failure of the floor. The gaps seen are indicative of improper leveling of the subfloor.
The flooring is manufactured by Cali Vinyl Longboards. I reviewed the installation instructions and noted that an expansion gap is required, pursuant to the floating click-lock luxury vinyl longboards plank installation manual (20240322_Cali floors LVP installation guide_2024-01592) which state the following:
Expansion gaps: Even though CALI Vinyl Longboards Plank will have very minimal expansion and contraction it is still required to leave 1/4” expansion space around the perimeter as well as all fixed objects (tile, fireplace, cabinets). The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

Compliance Item #8: Bathroom 1: Tile around outlet applied poorly (by toilet)
Investigator’s Observation: Verified
I saw that there was a saw cut in the tile under the outlet cover and visible. I also saw there was a large area of missing grout on the right side of the same wall tile.

Compliance Item #9: Bathroom 1: Tile transition strip is peeling / cracked
Investigator’s Observation: Verified
I saw that the tile/LVP flooring transition was completed with some type of silicon applied between the two types of flooring material. The silicon was cracking and peeling away. Correction Required
I also noted that the transition between the two flooring types was not level (P14). I used a 9 inch level as a straight edge and the tile/LVP transition is ‘peaked’, causing the level to rock end to end. The peaked transition causes a tripping hazard. Correction Required.
The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

Investigator’s Observation: Verified
The Complainant pointed out abandoned electrical boxes that had not been removed or covered.
I saw that there were non-functioning electrical boxes that had not been properly removed and/or covered. This condition was reported in various locations throughout the house. Those items with similar allegations will be added to this compliance item. This condition was present in the following locations:

The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

Investigator’s Observation: Verified
The Complainant had the areas she was concerned with marked with yellow sticky notes with the #14 on them.
I inspected the areas the Complainant pointed out and noted the following. There were scuffs throughout the hallway and I noted the paint had not covered completely. There were slightly different shades/sheens throughout.
I noted that the drywall had multiple areas with fields of pinholes (P26), tool marks (P21, 24-25), irregular texture (P18-20, 23-25, 27, and chips (P28-29).
ROC Workmanship Standards for Licensed Contractors (June 2009) states, Interior paint that inadequately covers the surface is not acceptable. Interior paint should be applied according to the manufacturer’s specifications and in a sufficient quantity to visually cover all specified areas. The drywall conditions did not appear to have been complete in a professional and workmanlike manner.
The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C009 04/21 Investigator’s Observation: Verified
During the course of the Jobsite Inspection, I noted that the entire project is incomplete. The home is barely functional and there are un-installed construction materials in every room, creating a safety hazard. In fact, the Complainant tripped on materials during the Jobsite Inspection and almost fell.
I reviewed the construction contract (ConstructionContract.pdf) and noted that line item #9 stated that the project was to be completed on or before November 20, 2023.
The respondent should correct by appropriate means, pursuant to the contract, applicable building codes, and within the scope of their license.

Investigator’s Observation: Verified
The Complainant explained that the sliding glass door was brand new and pointed out the damaged areas.

602.542.1525 · Toll Free 877.692.9762 · roc.az.gov C009 04/21 I inspected the sliding door and noted the following. There were dents/chips in the bottom track, indicative of dragging heavy object across the threshold.

Good morning Mark, I received the email with the corrections, for now we are waiting for the plans approved by the city of Scottsdale. The revocations have already been sent, because the city of Scottsdale stopped the project because it had the corresponding permits. In the same way, I would like if it is possible for you to give us another appointment at the workplace for a second meeting, I was never notified by email. and regular mail I have delivery problems. Please let us know if that is possible. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone
