Sincerely,

Todd Anderson Todd Anderson, Investigator #227 (602) 771-6769 [email redacted] 1700 W Washington St, Ste 105 Phoenix, AZ 85007

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

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.

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.

Jobsite General Notes:

Present at the Jobsite Inspection representing Alsi Construction and Development LLC was Rigoberto Sierra.

Compliance Item: 1 - Backhoe struck the side of my pillar and caused significant damage. My contractor tried to get the person ROC #345924 to pay for damages but he refused. My contractor refused to pay for damages and stated that I had to make a complaint with the ROC. Investigator’s Observation: At the Jobsite Inspection conducted on May 13th, 2024, I observed a damaged column for a patio cover. This column was located on the east side of the patio. It appears as though the contractor (Alsi Construction and Development LLC) had inadvertently hit the column with its backhoe while digging the trunk line for the pool plumbing. Rigoberto Sierra representing the Respondent does not remember hitting the column but has promised the Complainant to return to make repairs. The Contractor shall repair the damaged column by appropriate means.

ROC LEGAL DEPARTMENT

Dear Members

My company has been accused of causing minimum damage to the stucco of a exterior column of the house of Christen Eggers during the time the company was digging a hole to construct a swimming pool by AZ fiberglass pool who was the one hiring us and whom by the way did not pay us for the service provided.

After the digging part of that project was completed we leaf the site and others came to install the pool and dig for installing the pipes for the pool in the vicinity of the damaged stucco of the column.

During the site visit with the complainer and the ROC investigator I sow for the first time the column with the damaged stucco and I decided to fix it so that we would have any problem with ROC even thought I did not recognize that we created that problem and others trade where there after us doing more work. Unfortunately I did not have a picture that could proof that the stucco was untouched when we left.

When I went to fix the stucco of the column with two workers and as I was standing outside the property a few feet from the fence explaining the workers the job to be done ,Mrs Christen Eggers came out in a very alternated state and denied us the entrance to the property to perform the repairs of the stucco as I can proof with text message she sent me after I gave her my phone number. Received 6/19/2024 Legal Department

I will go once one more time next weekend to fx the stucco of the column as she wrote on the text message even though I already had to pay the two workers that where to do the job on the 15th. Hopefully this next time she will let us perform the repair .

I would like you to see that my company is doing all that it can to fix a problem that I don’t think we caused in a job we didn’t receive payment and in which the owner of the house of whom we didn’t even have her phone number didn’t grants us the entrance to her property to do the repair .

Sincerely yours,

Rigoberto Sierra
