Hafdis B. Wright and H. Wright Roofing, LLC - Certificate of Competency License No.: RR0186
Ms. Wright was present before the Board on June 5, 2013 and July 10, 2013 for the purpose of two (2) homeowner complaints, (i.e., 8531 Kingfisher Way and 2 Gilbert Circle). At the July Notice to Show Cause Hearing, the Board was advised by Robert Kyles, Chief Investigator, that Ms. Wright had reimbursed each homeowner. He further informed the Board that the homeowners had requested their complaints be withdrawn.
Ms. Wright advised the Board that she is the only person who can obtain permits on behalf of H. Wright Roofing, LLC and she is personally supervising all jobs. Ms. Wright's request to have her permitting privileges reinstated was unanimously approved by the Board.
The Board, after conferring with Counsel, determined that it lacked a quorum to vote regarding a Disciplinary hearing based upon Member absences at the June meeting. With that in mind, it was suggested to Ms. Wright that she meet with Staff to determine the amount of Administrative Costs for the complaints at 8531 Kingfisher Way and 2 Gilbert Circle; arrange for payment of these fees prior to the August 2013 meeting and possibly avoid a disciplinary hearing. |
