HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe_ Contact from Attorney (37).msgOk, thanks. The Carports are community use and this guy represents the HOA. He did pull the permit owner builder. We requested the workmans comp based on a notice from a lawyer saying that it wasn't allowed. It looks legitimate enough that we did what we need to. Thanks, Raymond On May 15, 2012, at 7:25 AM, "Long Tang" <Long.Tang@westcovina.org<mailto:Long.Tang@westcovina.org>> wrote: If it’s Owner-builder permit then I would need to ask for worker's comp., but the question is the HOA is owner of the building? For example, Westfield owns two malls in our city. They have workers compensation to cover they employees (janitors, security, etc.) but the construction workers who they sub out. We issue the permit to them as owner builder and not ask for worker's comp. If the HOA is pulling permit for a community building that they own, then I would not ask for worker's comp. If they're pulling permit to fix a condo unit that they are not the owner, I would not issue them the permit. In relations to the validity of the policy, I think I would take it at face value. Whether the policy covers their construction workers (i.e. are their gardeners doing construction work), we don't know and I don’t think we're obligated to explore.

This is an HOA that has his workers who regularly do maintenance and gardening on the site doing demolition of structures.
