DEBLOR CORP

He proved equally incompetent in building steps as he was in building a garage on 11/20/07. The front steps had a dangerous 1 inch lip from the landing to the step, which is not up to code. The kitchen steps were also unsafe with no handrail. There was wood-to-earth contract, so the wood began to deteriorate. On 2/27/08 he failed again. There is a 7 inch gap between the kitchen door & the landing. The 1st step between the door & the landing is not equal in height to the 3 steps from the landing to the asphalt. The 1st step is 4 inches, the 2nd step is 5 inches, & the 3rd step is 5 inches. This discrepancy in the height of the steps has created a safety hazard, where people have tripped not only coming up the steps to get into the house but down the steps to exit the house. He made the same mistake of wood to earth contact by cutting the asphalt & putting the wood in direct contact with the dirt. He used non pressure treated wood to shim up the steps creating a code violation. The steps are not sturdy & shifted during the earthquake, making them unstable & unsafe. The handrail is also square & not round, another code violation. The steps don t meet 4 basic criteria to pass inspection, built to building code, adhere to good engineering standards, demonstrate common sense, & avoid the liability of a safety lawsuit. He failed to demonstrate common sense, good engineering practices, & there is a good possibility of being sued due to negligence. I had to replace the steps to avoid a lawsuit. The building permit he failed to get & construction to fix Bobby s poor work cost $1,500. He needs to reimburse me for the actual loss suffered due to his substandard work.
