WICHITA, Kan. (AP) A Kansas construction contractor has been fined $44,000 after botching a tiny house project.
A Sedgwick County judge found that Rogers Contracting owner Brad Rogers, of Haysville, committed deceptive and unconscionable acts while converting a garage building into a micro-home for a Mulvane woman.
The Wichita Eagle reports that Rogers did the work without the required building permits or inspections, so the customer couldnt get a certificate of occupancy to use the property. Court records say some of the electrical work was found to be substandard and drywall had to be torn out and replaced to correct the problem.
It wasnt the first time Rogers and his company have been in legal trouble. The latest case was a violation of a 2017 consent settlement against Rogers for deceiving four customers.
