Pursuant to Sections 22.13(b), 22.18(b)(2), and 22.18.(b)(3) of the Consolidated Rules, the Regional Judicial Officer, on September 3, 2019, signed the Final Order accepting the Consent Agreement (collectively CAFO ) negotiated in settlement of certain violations of the Renovate, Repair and Painting ( RRP ) rule by Brentmore Construction, Inc.

Under the terms of the CAFO, Respondent will pay a civil penalty in the amount of $2,500. This Consent Agreement and Final Order initiates and concludes this matter.
