Contractor Found Guilty of Criminal Charges-From the Metrowest News

Contractor sentenced to 3-5 years in prison By Norman Miller/Daily News staff GHS Wed Dec 19, 2007, 11:44 PM EST

CAMBRIDGE - A Leominster contractor accused of bilking customers in Natick, Marlborough and Arlington out of thousands of dollars in unfinished work was sentenced to state prison yesterday.
Michael J. Corda, 50, was sentenced to three to five years in prison and to pay a yet-to-be-determined amount of restitution to the homeowners.
Corda, who owned Northeast Building and Design, was found guilty by a jury of seven counts of larceny of more than $250 and 16 counts of 142A violations, which is the law that prohibits certain acts by home contractors.
"When homeowners enter into an agreement with a contractor, they deserve to be dealt with honestly and to get the services that they paid for," District Attorney Gerry Leone said. "This contractor violated the trust of these homeowners and took thousands of dollars from them for work that he had no intention of performing."
Corda was indicted by a Middlesex grand jury on Sept. 26, 2006. Authorities said he agreed to five contracts in Natick and one each in Marlborough and Arlington.
Assistant District Attorney Elisha Willis said during Corda's trial he never intended to fulfill the services he promised in the contracts. She said Corda knew he did not have the resources to complete the jobs, and did not complete any of the services.
All of the incidents took place between November 2003 and August 2005. Along with the prison term and the restitution, Corda will be on probation for seven years after he gets out of prison. He will also be banned from working as a home contracting project manager in Massachusetts.

To be a noble human being is to be enduring a amiable of openness to the world, an cleverness to guardianship uncertain things beyond your own pilot, that can front you to be shattered in very outermost circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly impressive with the condition of the ethical passion: that it is based on a corporation in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a sparkler, something rather dainty, but whose very particular attraction is inseparable from that fragility.

Worker's Compensation Information Available Online At the Massachusetts Department of Labor Website

Mark Paskell first posted this at his blog,  http://www.thecontractorcoachingpartnership.com/Blog-Contractor-Coaching--Construction-Business-Coach-EPA-RRP-Lead-Rule/ , but I think it is so important that I wanted to post here as well.  Make sure all of your contractors have worker's compensation policies if they have employees.  If not, you may be held accountable if someone gets injured on the job.  Bravo to the government of MA for making this information available to the public. Here is a brief excerpt from the Massachusetts Department of Labor website;                                       Patrick - Murray Administration Launches  Free Web-Based Tool Will help Public Verify if Businesses have Workers Compensation Insurance Policy Boston, MA - The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD)...

The Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting Law Goes Went Into Effect on April 22, 2010

Homeowners who are considering doing a renovation must know that if their homes were built prior to 1978, their contractors are required to follow certain procedures if they are going to disturb more than 6 interior square feet of paint or 20 exterior square feet of paint.  This law requires that the general contractor must become certified with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and that the contractor himself take an eight-hour class in order to become a certified renovator and learn lead-safe practices that contain lead dust. Although the EPA claims that it will be doing a publicity campaign to inform homeowners about the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule), I have heard very little about it outside of construction circles.  So, I feel that it is important for me as a construction lawyer to educate the public about this rule. First of all, the preparation and education needed to comply with the law are going to cost the contractors more money.  T...
