It's the exact same argument as a person 1yr out of surgery saying "jeeze, look at this surgeon bill, if I wouldn't have had to pay a surgeon for my surgery I'd have saved a ton of $", than how'd you had the surgery done dummy!

Can this be remedied?

Also, there's no evidence that the issue was properly permitted/remediated so I will have to do more work to get comfortable.

To my understanding too, you can rent your property out while you wait for the inspection and results, and if you miss some items on the inspection they're pretty easy to work with to get it remediated (In my inspection I was missing a smoke detector in the basement and they let me send photos when it was installed).

When I worked for a local developer to me, we had this HUGE risk management spreadsheet we had to go through outlining every known risk on the project, who was in charge of it and what we were doing to remediate it.

Unfortunately you are stuck paying the subcontractor and your only remedy is to go after the GC.

Ensure the property is tested and, if necessary, remediated by professionals.Permits and Code Compliance:Building Codes: Ensure that the restoration or rebuild complies with current building codes and regulations.

Mr Beach, I only quoted you what i was told because i tried to find someone to remedy the problem but I know you prefer to use your own people which is fine and I understand....I did also tell you that I would not charge you the $85.00 service fee for David going out to the property to check on it to see what the problem was.
