A number of citizens have rightly expressed concerns about a couple of licensed contractors in the County who have not finished work and who have accepted large up front fees for such work and not paid customers back the money.
It's been all over the press and Facebook. Folks are angry and upset.
After speaking with staff today on this issue particularly, I am told that if restitution in the amount of $62,052.42 is not proved to have been paid back to customers by Banks Construction, Inc., by August 10th--Wednesday--this firm's license will be immediately suspended and this company will not be able to any work which requires this license--- nor will they be able to pull any additional permits. In addition to this restitution, I'm told this firm owes fines in the amountof $16,379.56 that must be paid by 9-1-2022.
There are additional customer complaints on this particular firm--this $62,052.42 represents the first group of complaints..
I am told there is one more firm who also has had a number of complaints for non-performance and non-payment and this firm must also pay restitution or have their license suspended. I will be getting more information on that company tomorrow, and I will post that here.
