Just Prior to Deadline, My Surveyor Has Had His License Suspended
I hired a surveyor to do what is called a Zone Lot Amendment in Denver, CO. It allows two parcels to be separated and sold separately and is required in this situation. I work with a handful of different surveyors here and there is also a large spread in pricing between them.
The surveyor completed the first version and it was submitted to the Zoning Department and came back with some required changes, as is common when working with Denver Zoning. I have to resubmit with the required changes and the surveyor has informed me that a colleague filed a complaint against him with the State Board and he is on probation until it is cleared up and he can't sign-off on surveying work until then.
I have deadlines to meet and loan carrying costs, etc until the parcels are sold and can't sell either until this is completed and the new legal descriptions are finalized by the city.
It can take months to get to the front of a surveyors schedule here as they are swamped, not to mention the additonal costs. Can another surveyor review this surveyors work and not have to repeat it and the costs entirely? Perhaps there are other suggestions.
I"m somewhat lost on what to do in this scenario. Thank you.
