Appeal HA-2020-001132
DecidedTypeL&I Review Board Codes
GroundsKindly accept this Notice of Appeal on behalf of Matthew Mullen and Platinum Construction and Development ("Platinum") for Suspension of Contractor License #53605, pursuant to letter dated June 30, 2020 by Will Fernandez, Esquire for the reasons set forth in the hearing below.
There are numerous discrepancies in the findings of fact and conclusions of law and the "punishment" of a one year suspension for a first offense far exceeds the "crime." None of his actions were intentional and he believed upon good faith that all contractors were licensed. He was informed he could continue the project after inspection by L&I and none of his changes deviated from the approved plans, except as permitted on site by the inspectors. Mullen cooperated completely during the remediation and the investigation, yet his due process rights were not protected during the telephone conferences before L&I below. There have not been "repeated failures" to comply with the provisions of the Philadelphia Code.
All proceedings shall stay the suspension of the license until this matter can be heard and Mr. Mullen is afforded all due process rights.
