Lipskys You were called into our office on November 1, 20 16 to answer charges in connection with the complaint filed by James Muhr. At that time, we informed you that you were not licensed as a general contractor although you were acting as one. Both the personal disclosure form and certificate of liability insurance you submitted with your license application restrict you to carpentry and window replacement. Your contract with Jýnes Muhr for the performance of demolition, excavation, house lifting, helical piles, masonry, roofing, siding, plumbing, electric, etc. is beyond the scope o f your approved operation. You were ad vised that you cannot do this work without upgrading your home improvement license. Yøte tertificate of lighility insganer is inigging a description of your operatiens; in fact it is: bid If you are seeking apprøval to do di the jobs menfinned previously, they should be nÿted in the space marked nescrip ion o7peratiyns.

Change order 7 for the versetta stone was approved by the consumer via e-mail on 9/28/15. But the e-mail is hetween Joe Aiello and the consumer. Joe Aiello, who was never approved by Licensing to represent your company, has no authority to sign an agreement on your behalf. Change orders 8 and 9 are not signed by the homeowner. lwr. Muhr specifically objected to change order 8, claiming that much of the work done according to prior agreements was now included in this unsigned change order. And then, you unfairly tacked on to this bill an extra $22,039.75 for overhead, profit and insurance because they were left out of the approved and completed change orders. If you forgot to include your markups on each change order, you cannot add them to the consumer's bill after the fact and expect him to approve them. This is an unconscionable trade practice which defeats the purpose of signing addendums prior to the performance of work. The fme for the unsigned change orders is FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 09/05/2023 12:47 AM INDEX NO. 606340/2020 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 194 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 09/05/2023 $1500.00. Be advised that the printed, legible names of you and your salespeople must appear beneath their signatures on the addendums as well as on the original contracts. Patricia Rooney, your attorney, stated that no completion date was written on the contract because the architect was not hired by you. Since the architect was hired by the homeowner, you did not know when the job would start. Eventually, you did start the job. What prevented you at that time from including a completion date on the contract as required by Local Law 6-1970? If change órders significantly delayed the original conipletion date beyond the thirty days allowed, you could have changed that date in writing, informing the consumer of said change. The fine for Violation No. 711, issued for no completion date, is $350.00. Violation No. 712 was issued for failure to comply with the requirement that salespeople and managers who represent your company be registered anÆapproved by Consumer Affairs. It was recently brought to my attention that you submitted the requisite applications for Stephen Mills and Joseph Aiello on December 6, 2016. Neither of these individuals has been approved yet because they did not comply with Licensing's request for further information. The fine for this offense is $600.00. Payment of these nnes inust be made by cerdfed check or postal money order to the County of N¾ssau by J$y 3, 2017.
