Im a electrical contracting in NJ I work for a company that uses my license for there business and I sign and seal permits. We did some work for a homeowner in a town ( wont name the town). We are having issues with this inspector and the building department in this town.
Let me start at the beginning a permit was taken out for a receptable, a central air unit, and a air handler. The permit was issue by the town and the work started, upon completion of the job the final inspection was ordered and the electrical inspector came out and fail the job. It was minor stuff that was fix then we called again for another inspection and again we failed for something he didn't see the first time.
So this issue was fix and we call again, but this time there is a problem with the permit, and we get fine. We fill out the permit with the wrong license number and was fine for misleading statements. I started working for this company in january and it took a couple of months for the business permit to be issue from new jersey, in the mean time the company i work for was using another contractors license until the transfer was complete. For the past month they have been using my license and we are waiting for the seal to arrive in the mean time we have a letter from the state until the seal arrives.
The women who fills out the permits made an honest mistake and wrote the wrong license number down and we recieve a fine from this towns building department. This town has threaten to turn us into the state and has given us a hard time for this.
My question is this can I turn this towns building department into the state, I admit a mistake was made on our end, but also someone at the building department didnt do there job and check the paperwork or the license number for the permit. I feel that this could have been handle differently on both ends and this messy situation could have been avoided.
