Summary of findings:
Mr. Alan Curtin, agent for Right Choice Plumbing, LLC entered into a contract to replace
plumbing lines, faucets, and hot water heater without the knowledge of the qualifier

taking to be completed.
Violations: Under Section 26-172(1) — willful disregard of the applicable building
codes. Florida Building Code 105. 1, performing work without a building permit.
Mr. Eseltine read from the packet of staff findings. The complaint was received be the
building department from the homeowner regarding some plumbing work that was
performed by Right Choice Plumbing. Only a water hook up permit had been issued in

entire house including new faucets, and hot water heater. The homeowner was not happy
with the work, and on June 12, 2013 a citation was written to the contractor with a fine of
$300.00 per City Resolution. On June 24, 2013 Mr. Alan Curtin, representative for Right
Choice Plumbing attempted to comply by coming in with a check for $300.00, but the
permit application was not accepted because it was not signed by the qualifier. The
check was returned by the bank NSF. Mr. Curtin was notified to bring in cash with the
application signed by the qualifier. Mr. Curtin was again notified on July 23, 2013,
September 5, 2013, and September 23, 2013, each time asking for an additional two
weeks to comply. On October 8, 2013 Mr. Berlingieri was sent a notice to appear before
the Construction Board. Mr. Curtin again came into the building department on October
11, 2013 with the $300.00, and was informed he also needed to pay the NSF fee of
$20.00, and again did not have the application signed by the qualifier.
Mr. Berlingieri has paid all outstanding fees, and has been issued a permit, inspections
have been performed.
Mr. Berlingieri stated that he was not aware of this contract, and that a permit application
was never brought to him for signature.
After much discussion, a motion was made to suspend the license for Right Choice
Plumbing for six months in the city of Sebastian, and to pay fine of $500.00.
