Recommendation: That the Board uphold the Contractor Competency Board's decision of February 3, 2016, whereby it found Respondent, Thimothy Sowell, d/b/a Sowell Roofing Company, Inc., not in violation of any Code and dismissed Ms. Donna Jenkins' Complaint for lack of evidence to the contrary.

BACKGROUND:

The above referenced case is a contractor complaint filed on August 10, 2015, against Respondent, Thimothy Sowell d/b/a Sowell Roofing Company, Inc. Ms. Donna Jenkins, Complainant/Homeowner, is contesting the February 3, 2016, decision of the Contractor Competency Board wherein it found lack of probable cause that Respondent violated a Code or statute. The Board announced its decision to dismiss the case based upon sworn testimony and evidence presented that Respondent was not required to pull a permit, but did; however the permit was voided as no permit was required. Based upon the foregoing, the work completed did not require an inspection and no proven Code violation exists.
