164PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
166On April 27, 1998, the Department of Business and
175Professional Regulation, Construction Industry Licensing Board
181(Petitioner) filed a two-count Administrative Complaint
187(Petitioner's Case No. 97-21762) against Lucius P. Clark
195(Respondent). Petitioner charged Respondent with the following:
202Count I--violating Subsection 489.129(1)(k), Florida Statutes
208(1995) [sic], by abandoning a construction project in which the
218contractor is engaged or under contract as a contractor; and
228Count II--violating Subsection 489.129(1)(d), Florida Statutes
234(1995) [sic], by knowingly violating the applicable building
242codes or laws of the state or of any municipalities or counties
254thereof. Respondent disputed the allegations of fact of the
263Administrative Complaint and requested a hearing. On October 29,
2721998, this matter was referred to the Division of Administrative
282Hearings (DOAH) and assigned DOAH Case No. 98-4859.
290On November 25, 1998, Petitioner filed an Administrative
298Complaint (Petitioner's Case No. 98-19860) against (Respondent).
305Petitioner charged Respondent with violating Subsection
311489.129(1)(e), Florida Statutes (1997), by performing any act
319which assists a person or entity in engaging in the prohibited
330uncertified and unregistered practice of contracting, if the
338certificateholder or registrant knows or has reasonable grounds
346to know that the person or entity was uncertified and
356unregistered. Respondent disputed the allegations of fact of the
365Administrative Complaint and requested a hearing. On January 19,
3741999, this matter was referred to DOAH and assigned DOAH Case No.
38699-0261.
387By Order dated February 5, 1999, Case Nos. 98-4859 and
39799-0261 were consolidated.
400At hearing, the parties agreed that Case No. 99-0261 would
410be presented first. For Case No. 99-0261, Petitioner presented
419the testimony of three witnesses and entered 7 exhibits
428(Petitioner's Exhibits numbered 1-6 and 8) into evidence.
436Respondent testified on his own behalf, presented the testimony
445of one witness, and entered one exhibit (Respondent's Exhibit
454numbered 1) into evidence.
458For Case No. 98-4859, Petitioner presented the testimony of
467four witnesses and entered 18 exhibits (Petitioner's Exhibits
475numbered 1-15 and 17-19) into evidence. (Petitioner's Exhibit
483numbered 18 is the same as Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 1 in
494Case No. 99-0261.) Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 16 was
502rejected. Respondent testified on his own behalf, presented the
511testimony of one witness, and entered no exhibits into evidence.
521A transcript of the hearing was ordered. At the request of
532the parties, the time for filing post-hearing submissions was set
542for more than ten days following the filing of the transcript.
553The Transcript, consisting of four volumes, was filed on
562January 7, 2000, January 13, 2000, April 3, 2000, and May 16,
5742000. Respondent was granted an extension of time to file his
585post-hearing submission. The parties timely filed their post-
593hearing submissions, which were considered in the preparation of
602this Recommended Order.
605FINDINGS OF FACT
6081. It is undisputed that at all times material hereto,
618Respondent was licensed by the State of Florida as a Certified
629General Contractor, having been issued license number CG C58099.
638Respondent passed the licensing examination in August 1995.
646Case No. 99-0261
6492. Respondent is not a licensed roofing contractor.
6573. Respondent's Certified General Contractor's license did
664not and does not permit him to obtain roofing permits to perform
676any type of work on roofs. Respondent's Certified General
685Contractor's license number was not low enough for him to be
696grandfathered in by the State to allow him to lawfully perform
707roofing work with his Certified General Contractor's license.
7154. On or about February 23, 1998, Delfina Valdes contracted
725with Johnny Hatcher, d/b/a Hatcher's Roofing, to repair the roof
735on her residence located at 18101 Northwest 32 Avenue, Miami,
745Florida. They contracted for Hatcher to remove Valdes' old roof
755and install a new roof at a cost of $4,000.
7665. Valdes paid Hatcher $2,000 as a down payment toward the
778cost of the roof's repair.
7836. At no time material hereto was Hatcher a licensed
793roofing contractor. Furthermore, at no time material hereto was
802Hatcher's Roofing qualified by the State of Florida to perform
812contracting.
8137. Hatcher removed the roof from Valdes' residence. After
822removing the roof, he did not perform any more work.
8328. Respondent met with Valdes and represented to her that
842Hatcher was working for him. Respondent further represented that
851he would obtain the permit for the roofing work.
8609. Respondent paid Cayetano Alfonso to obtain a roofing
869permit for the work on Valdes' roof. On or about March 26, 1998,
882Alfonso made application to Metropolitan Dade County, Department
890of Planning, Development and Regulation for the roofing permit,
899which was subsequently issued.
90310. Alfonso was a Certified General Contractor who was
912licensed to perform roofing work. Alfonso's Certified General
920Contractor's license number was low enough for him to be
930grandfathered in by the State to allow him to lawfully perform
941roofing work with his Certified General Contractor's license.
94911. Alfonso was not the qualifier for Hatcher's Roofing nor
959was he Respondent's qualifier. Alfonso did not enter into the
969contract with Valdes for repairing her roof. Alfonso was not a
980party to the contract for repairing Valdes' roof.
98812. An inference is drawn and a finding of fact is made
1000that Hatcher was not acting on behalf of Alfonso when he entered
1012into the contract with Valdes. An inference is drawn and a
1023finding of fact is made that Respondent was not acting on behalf
1035of Alfonso when he represented to Valdes that he would obtain the
1047permit for the roofing work.
105213. When Respondent discovered that Hatcher had received a
1061$2,000 deposit from Valdes, he requested Alfonso to cancel the
1072permit. On or about April 20, 1998, Alfonso cancelled the
1082roofing permit.
108414. On or about June 5, 1998, Valdes cancelled the contract
1095between her and Hatcher Roofing.
110015. Valdes received a refund of the $2,000 from Hatcher,
1111through a third party, that she had paid him.
1120Case No. 98-4859
112316. On or about April 9, 1995, Respondent entered into a
1134contract with Susan Casper to construct an addition to her
1144residence located at 17350 Northeast 12th Court, North Miami
1153Beach, Florida, at a cost of $38,135. Casper paid Respondent
1164$36,285.00 toward the cost of the addition. Respondent was not
1175licensed at the time that he entered into the contract.
118517. On or about March 20, 1996, Respondent obtained a
1195permit from the Metropolitan Dade County, Department of Planning,
1204Development and Regulation for the work on the addition.
121318. Several delays were encountered during the performance
1221of the work. Some of the delays resulted from changes by Casper,
1233which changes required approval by Metropolitan Dade County,
1241Department of Planning, Development and Regulation; however, most
1249of the delays were Respondent's own doing.
125619. In October 1996, Casper paid $2,588 to Best Truss
1267Company for a claim of lien filed on her residence, associated
1278with the work being performed on her residence.
128620. Respondent worked sporadically on Casper's addition
1293through April 1997. He would inform her at times that he was
1305returning but failed to return.
131021. At one point, Casper's children constructed a sign in
1320their own handwriting, instructing Respondent to keep out and
1329indicating that there was no trespassing by him. The sign was
1340posted on the door of Casper's residence. Casper informed
1349Respondent that her children constructed the sign. It was
1358obvious that the keep out, no trespassing sign was constructed by
1369children. Respondent's assertion that he was kept away from
1378Casper's residence by the children's sign is not credible.
138722. Even after the children's sign was posted on the front
1398door of Casper's residence, Respondent agreed with Casper to
1407resume work, and he did so. However, his work was sporadic.
141823. In or around June 1997, Casper sought assistance from
1428the Metropolitan Dade County, Department of Planning, Development
1436and Regulation to get Respondent to complete the work. In
1446July 1997, Respondent obtained a window permit for the work on
1457Casper's residence.
145924. After July 1997, Respondent ceased working on Casper's
1468residence. He did not provide Casper with any notice that he was
1480ceasing work. Respondent had no valid reason for ceasing the
1490work.
149125. In September 1997, Casper transferred the permit for
1500the work on her residence from Respondent's name to her name.
151126. Respondent failed to perform all the work under the
1521contract. Some of the work performed by Respondent or caused to
1532be performed by Respondent contained code violations and needed
1541correcting.
154227. Certain work performed by Respondent or caused to be
1552performed by Respondent needed correcting. Wood doors, glass
1560block, electrical work, and a sprinkler were in need of
1570correction. Casper bore the expense of the corrections. The
1579corrective work was completed at a cost of $1,675.00.
158928. The value of the work performed by Respondent on
1599Casper's residence was $18,272, minus the cost of the corrective
1610work of $1,675, which equals a total value of the work at
1623$16,597. This cost value includes overhead and profit. Even
1633though the value of the work by Respondent was $16,597, Casper
1645paid Respondent $36,285, a difference of $19,688.
165429. Casper hired a new contractor on or about September 17,
16651997, to complete the construction on her residence at a cost of
1677$16,350.
167930. As to Case No. 98-4859, as of January 26, 1999,
1690Petitioner incurred a cost of $1,108.76 for the investigation and
1701prosecution of Respondent.
170431. Petitioner previously disciplined Respondent for
1710violating Chapter 489, Florida Statutes (1995), including
1717violating Subsection 489.127(1)(k), Florida Statutes (1995),
1723abandonment of a construction project.

2320Penalty for both cases
232441. As to penalty, Rule 61G4-17.001, Florida Administrative

2340Rule 61G4-17.001, Florida Administrative Code, provides in

2441costs of investigation and prosecution. The
2447assessment of such costs may be made in
2455addition to the penalties provided by these
2462guidelines without demonstration of
2466aggravating factors set forth in rule 61G4-
247317.002.
2474(21) For any violation occurring after
2480October 1, 1988, the board may order the
2488contractor to make restitution in the amount
2495of financial loss suffered by the consumer.
2502Such restitution may be ordered in addition
2509to the penalties provided by these guidelines
2516without demonstration of aggravating factors
2521set forth in rule 61G4-17.002, and to the
2529extent that such order does not contravene
2536federal bankruptcy law.
253942. As to aggravating or mitigating circumstances, Rule
254761G4-17.002, Florida Administrative Code, provides in pertinent
2554part:
2555Circumstances which may be considered for the
2562purposes of mitigation or aggravation of
2568penalty shall include, but are not limited
2575to, the following:
2578(1) Monetary or other damage to the
2585licensee's customer, in any way associated
2591with the violation, which damage the licensee
2598has not relieved, as of the time the penalty
2607is to be assessed. (This provision shall not
2615be given effect to the extent it would
2623contravene federal bankruptcy law.)
2627(2) Actual job-site violations of building
2633codes, or conditions exhibiting gross
2638negligence, incompetence, or misconduct by
2643the licensee, which have not been corrected
2650as of the time the penalty is being assessed.
2659(3) The severity of the offense.
2665(4) The danger to the public.
2671(5) The number of repetitions of offenses.
2678(6) The number of complaints filed against
2685the licensee.
2687(7) The length of time the licensee has
2695practiced.
2696(8) The actual damage, physical or
2702otherwise, to the licensee's customer.
2707(9) The deterrent effect of the penalty
2714imposed.
2715(10) The effect of the penalty upon the
2723licensee's livelihood.
2725(11) Any efforts at rehabilitation.
2730(12) Any other mitigating or aggravating
2736circumstances.
273743. As to repeat violations, Rule 61G4-17.003, Florida
2745Administrative Code, provides in pertinent part:
2751(1) As used in this rule, a repeat violation
2760is any violation on which disciplinary action
2767is being taken where the same licensee had
2775previously had disciplinary action taken
2780against him or received a letter of guidance
2788in a prior case; and said definition is to
2797apply regardless of whether the violations in
2804the present and prior disciplinary actions
2810are of the same or different subsections of
2818the disciplinary statutes.
2821(2) The penalty given in the above list for
2830repeat violations is intended to apply only
2837to situations where the repeat violation is
2844of a different subsection of Chapter 489 than
2852the first violation. Where, on the other
2859hand, the repeat violation is the very same
2867type of violation as the first violation, the
2875penalty set out above will generally be
2882increased over what is otherwise shown for
2889repeat violations in the above list.
289544. Several factors should be considered as aggravating and
2904mitigating circumstances. Considerable monetary damage was
2910suffered by Susan Casper. In the instant cases, Respondent has
2920two complaints filed against him. Respondent has been licensed
2929for a short period of time. A severe penalty would adversely
2940affect Respondent's livelihood; however, the damage suffered by
2948his customers adversely affected them economically. Respondent
2955has been previously disciplined by Petitioner, in which one of
2965the charges was a violation of Subsection 489.127(1)(k), Florida
2974Statutes (1995), abandonment of a construction project.
298145. As to costs for investigation and prosecution, the
2990total costs have not been computed as yet. Fairness requires
3000that Respondent be provided an opportunity to address the issue
3010of costs when the costs have been finalized, which opportunity
3020may be provided to Respondent at the time that Petitioner
3030considers the instant cases for final agency action.

3049Law, it is
