INC.
License Numbers: DL900001025 (Ambrose), DL90000648 (Camelot), MF70000126
(New Era)
License Types: Dealer (Ambrose), Dealer (Camelot), Manufacturer (New
Era)
Complaint Number: 2006-MFG-2408
Disposition: Three separate consent agreements, one for each licensee,
each dated 6/7/06
Summary: The board received a complaint regarding a modular home that
had been manufactured by New Era, sold by Camelot, and installed by
Ambrose. After one day of hearing, the parties agreed to resolve the
matter by consent agreement. Each licensee signed a separate consent
agreement. The three consent agreements each contained the following
admissions:
1 .In July 2005, one modular unit of the home containing plumbing work
sustained significant, structural, in-transit damage to its open joist
floor trusses.
2. In July 2005, New Era engaged in incompetent practice when it approved
repairs of the damaged floor trusses without first obtaining a required
approved plan from a third party inspection agency.
3. In July 2005, Camelot engaged in incompetent practice when it undertook
and completed the unapproved floor truss repairs, which were not structurally
sound and did not provide satisfactory plumbing.
4. In July 2005, Ambrose engaged in incompetent practice when it installed
the home, specifically the damaged unit that had been repaired in a
structurally unsound way with unsatisfactory plumbing.
5. In January 2006, New Era engaged in incompetent practice when, for
a second time, it approved repairs of the damaged floor trusses without
first obtaining a required approved plan from a third party inspection
agency. Specifically, New Era attempted to use an unacceptable method
of attaching new open joists to the decking; that is, it attempted to
use glue alone without screwing down through the decking and into the
open joists.
6. New Era ultimately provided for structurally sound on-site repairs
to the floor trusses in accordance with a plan approved by a third party
inspection agency, namely the damaged floor trusses and unapproved repairs
were removed and replaced with approved, new, properly attached open
joist floor trusses, and the unsatisfactory plumbing was removed and
replaced.
7. New Era improperly set fasteners on a kitchen cabinet, allowing the
fasteners to visibly and unacceptably protrude from the cabinet in violation
of the home's statutory manufacturer warranty.
8. Camelot improperly installed carpet, allowing seams to be unacceptably
visible in violation of the home's statutory installer warranty.
9.Camelot improperly framed the home's gable ends in the attic, failing
to provide proper support in violation of the home's statutory installer
warranty.
New Era and Camelot agreed to jointly and severally make ten specific
repairs, replacements and remedial work items as specifically described
in the consent agreements. New Era and Camelot each agreed to submit
a policy for board approval addressing the repair and replacement of
modular units damaged in transit.
New Era, Camelot and Ambrose agreed to jointly and severally pay hearing
costs not to exceed a total amount of $2500. New Era agreed that its
engineering manager and service manager will complete the board's training
course. Camelot agreed that its president and service will complete
the board's training course. Ambrose agreed to complete the board's
training course.
Camelot agreed to ten unannounced installation inspections by board
staff during the 6-month period following execution of the consent agreement,
with possible participation by a third party inspector at Camelot's
expense. Camelot agreed to pay an additional $1500 to cover the board's
costs of these inspections.
New Era and Camelot each agreed to a schedule of escalating civil penalties
in the event that the consent agreements are not complied with.
Ambrose agreed to a $1000 civil penalty.
AUGUST 24, 2006 UPDATE: The board approved an amendment to the consent
agreement involving Camelot Homes only. In lieu of replacing all first
floor carpet and linoleum, Camelot agreed to forgive money owed to it
by the consumer.

CHICOINE, STEVEN W.
License Number: ME80000257
License Type: Mechanic
Complaint Number: 2006-MFG-2979
Disposition: Decision and Order dated 11/8/06
Summary: This proceeding was a license denial hearing. On applications
for mechanic and installer licenses, licensee answered the question
of whether he had ever been convicted of a crime by responding, "Yes,
1995 or 1996, not sure." Licensee's criminal history record subsequently
revealed convictions in: 1971 for robbery and grand larceny; 1975 for
disorderly conduct; 1977 for simple assault; 1986 for criminal mischief;
1997 for possession of a firearm by a felon; 1997 for driving under
the influence of alcohol.
At hearing in this matter, licensee explained the circumstances of
his early convictions and testified that he has not been convicted of
any criminal conduct since his OUI conviction in April 1997. He displayed
some understanding that he should have more truthfully filled out his
applications for licensure, but thought that the State Bureau of Identification
history would provide the board with his full record Additionally, he
testified that he has established a business of transporting mobile
homes and supplied the board with three references in that regard. Currently,
he desires to expand that enterprise by being licensed as an installer
and mechanic.
The board believed that a reasonable person would not forget having
committed these criminal offenses. The board granted the licensees requested,
but put licensee on probation until May 8, 2007. The board also fined
licensee $250 (which licensee immediately paid after the hearing).

OLD FARM TRAILER PARK
(Medway)
License Number: MP15402
License Type: Manufactured Housing Community
Complaint Number: 2006-MFG-2652
Disposition: Consent Agreement dated 5/15/06
Summary: Respondents, who purchased the park in April 2005, admitted
that the park has been unlicensed since at least 2003. Board action
on previous owners' licensure applications for the park conditioned
licensure on an agreement to discontinue usage of a wastewater lagoon
that had been operating at the park. On September 9, 2005, the board
received from respondents an incomplete application for a manufactured
housing community license; respondents did not submit the required licensure
fees and applicable late fees. On the September 9th licensure application,
respondents failed to provide required information about the park's
private drinking water supply and wastewater disposal system. On or
about October 21, 2005, Department of Environmental Protection staff
inspected the park and observed that usage of a wastewater lagoon at
the park has been discontinued, that the lagoon has been filled, and
that an in-ground wastewater system is in place; DEP has closed its
file with respect to wastewater at the park.
In this consent agreement, respondents agreed to submit to the board
within 30 days: (a) a statement from the Maine Department of Health
and Human Services, Division of Health Engineering, that the private
water system meets the requirements of the board's rules, and (b) $252
in license fees and $150 in late fees, for a total fee payment of $402.
[Note: The license was issued on May 11, 2006.]

(Hancock)
License Number: MF70000100 (Fleetwood); DL90000068 (Sargent's)
License Type: Manufacturer (Fleetwood); Manufactured Housing Dealer
(Sargent's)
Complaint Number: 05-05
Disposition: Consent Agreement dated 9/19/05
Summary: Homeowner complained that during the summer of 2005 granules
washed off the shingles of the roof of her manufactured home in sufficient
quantity to clog the rain gutter of her home. Neither Sargent's, Fleetwood,
or the shingle manufacturer acknowledged any defect in the shingles.
An independent contractor hired by the homeowner gave the opinion that
the shingles would not last through the upcoming winter and would allow
leakage into her home if the roof was not replaced, whereupon the homeowner
hired the independent contractor to replace the roof. Board staff inspected
the home and samples of the original shingles that had been removed
from the roof. Staff observed no evidence of homeowner neglect or misuse.
Staff concluded that the original shingles showed unusual wear and loss
of granules from exposed portions, that the shingles did not perform
as intended, and that the homeowner was justified in re-shingling the
entire roof.
Licensees admitted that they violated the implied warranty of merchantability,
and agreed to reimburse the homeowner $4200 as the reasonable cost of
roof replacement. Licensees also agreed to pay costs associated with
scheduling the hearing in this matter

FOX HILLS HOMES
(Berwick
License Number: DL90000815
License Type: Dealer
Complaint Number: MO4-18
Disposition: Decision and Order dated 6/30/05
Summary: Dealer committed the following violations in connection with
its installation of a modular home: (1) the outside wall of the shed
dormer is approximately 5/8? in 4´ out of plumb; (2) the floor
plan for the second floor, presented to the homeowners by the dealer,
is not a workable plan because of the need for the truss supporting
wall to remain in place; (3) lateral bracing of the roof trusses is
only partially completed; (4) the rework involving the first-to-second
floor stair treads and risers has not been completed and one tread/riser
is missing; and (5) there is a high area in the hardwood floor at the
mating line between the living room and dining room which measures approximately
7/16? in a 32? measurement.
"The Board reasoned that Fox Hill was clearly derelict in the
amount of time that elapsed before major problems were satisfactorily
addressed if, indeed, they were at all. The design of the second floor
demonstrated incompetence in that Fox Hill did not further communicate
this design to the manufacturer in a meaningful manner and the homeowner
was entitled to rely on the representations depicted by the design.
Additionally, the roof may have collapsed had the homeowners followed
the advice of Fox Hill and moved the upstairs wall. The trusses should
have been nailed to the rafters in a timely manner and the floor hump
corrected."
The board revoked the license and issued a $1500 civil penalty for
each of the 5 violations described above, for a total civil penalty
of $7500.

License Type: Manufacturer (Commodore), Manufacturer Housing Dealer
(Oxford)
Complaint Number: M03-17
Disposition: Decision and Order dated 5/5/04
Summary: Dealer Commodore failed to correct deficiencies in home that
were reported by the homeowners to Commodore. The repairs performed
by Commodore were either subpar or made the original problem worse.
As a result of Commodore's failure to make the necessary repairs over
a 5 month period, the homeowners filed this complaint. The board's inspector
found 11 violations of the manufactured housing warranty and the installation
warranty. On a subsequent inspection, the inspector found that some
violations were corrected, some violations were only partially corrected,
some violations were not corrected at all, and also documented some
new issues that he did not previously notice. At hearing, the dealer
and manufacturer accepted responsibility for the repairs and gave the
board assurances that the necessary repairs would be completed in a
timely and competent manner.
The board issued dealer Homestead a $500 civil penalty for each of
8 violations (for a total civil penalty of $4000), and issued manufacturer
Commodore a $500 civil penalty for each of 3 violations (for a total
civil penalty of $1500). The board ordered each party to share in the
cost of the required repairs, ordered Homestead to hire an independent
professional engineer to inspect the home and certify to the completeness
of the repairs, and ordered Homestead and Commodore to each pay ½
the costs of the hearing, which totaled $1388.

RITCHIE, BRUCE R.
License Number: DL90000937
License Type: Manufactured Housing Dealer
Complaint Number: MFG-132
Disposition: Decision and Order dated 3/11/04
Summary: On his license application, dated June 17, 2003, licensee stated
that he had never been convicted of a crime other than a minor traffic
violation. Licensee had in fact been convicted on September 26, 1977
of attempted theft, for which he received 6 months probation and a $100
fine. Licensee had also been convicted of disorderly conduct on September
5, 1979, for which he was fined $25.
"The majority of the Board [5-4] reasoned that the average individual
does not forget convictions for crimes, especially when placed on probation
for 6 months. Moreover, Bruce Ritchie blamed the 'mistake' on his wife,
even though basically the same question regarding whether he had been
convicted of a crime was twice posed in the licensure application. To
compound matters, Bruce Ritchie affirmed the truth of his statements
before a notary and then submitted the application to the Board. The
Board also considered the fact that the Respondent specifically requested
the instant hearing and then did nor appear or personally discuss the
reasons for his absence with the Board."
The board imposed a $500 civil penalty, ordered licensee to pay hearing
costs of $400, and ordered licensee and his employees to attend a training
session.

License No. DL90000651 (Modular), MF70000022 (Ritz-Craft)
License Type: Manufactured Housing Dealer (Modular), Manufacturer (Ritz-Craft)
Complaint No. M01-40
Disposition: Decision and Order dated 5/14/03
Summary: Consumers purchased a modular cape style home from Modular
that was manufactured by Ritz-Craft. Modular Enterprise installed the
home on the consumers' lot. Following the consumers' initial contact
with the board, the board inspector found 20 violations upon initial
inspection. The respondents failed to fully remedy these violations
for more than a year, whereupon the board filed a complaint against
them to enforce their warranty obligations under 10 MRSA §1404,
which provides: "[A] statutory warranty is hereby established under
which both the manufacturer and the dealer certify that to the best
of their knowledge, the new mobile home is free from any substantial
defects in materials and workmanship."
The board held:
"The Board is of the opinion that the vast number of the twenty
noted violations is attributable to Modular since Modular had displayed
the home for more than one year and assumedly would not have accepted
the home in the above condition. The Board further finds and concludes
that the Respondents have taken an excessive amount of time to attempt
to repair the deficiencies found in the Morneault's home. Therefore,
considering the joint and several liability subsections quoted above,
the Board finds both Respondents responsible for the violations contained
in inspector Oullette's reports."
The board suspended Modular's license for 90 days, issued Modular a
$4500 civil penalty and ordered Modular to perform all but 3 of the
necessary repairs. The board ordered Ritz-Craft to perform 3 of the
necessary repairs, and ordered Ritz-Craft to pay $500 for each of these
repairs that is not made within the time established by the board. The
board also ordered Ritz-Craft to pay ½ the hearing costs in this
matter, in the amount of $642.50.
