CONTRACTOR COMPLAINTS
 
a.
Contractor/Qualifier Dba Competency Card # State License #
 John G. Cannon John G. Cannon, LLC  1700018447  CCC1330664

Both Respondent and Complainant were present.  Ms. Razey-Smith indicated that a building permit was not obtained when the repairs were started, she had concerns about the repair of the leak, and that the contractor did not communicate with her.  She added that the time it is taking to repair the roof is hindering her ability to list the home for sale. 

Mr. Cannon stated that he and his wife were both hospitalized and now he spends a lot of time caring for his wife, who is still ill. He said his son repaired the leak, and that a permit was obtained.  It was noted that an engineer's letter is required for the flat roof repair.

In an effort to allow enough time for Mr. Cannon to obtain the engineer's letter and get inspections, the Board decided to Continue this item until the next meeting, scheduled for February 13th.
 

Motion was made by Kenneth Waters, seconded by Ralph Fogg to Continue this item until the February 13th meeting.
