As we discussed at the counter and in my prior email, the City cannot just remove your name as the contractor of record without some other person or firm take responsibility for the work completed to date. That said, I also put a hold on the project to require the new contractor or owner to come to the City to sign for the building permit prior to accepting any new inspection requests. I hope this takes care of some of your concerns. You should consult with your own lawyer to ensure you have covered all your issues as it relates to this project.

I will also print out a hard copy and bring it to the building department tomorrow morning, around 9 am. I hope to meet you tomorrow and to explain the situation in person as well. I will bring the building permit card, which I assume will be needed during our meeting. Thank you.

What I can offer is for you to write a letter explaining the situation and that you will no longer be involved with the project. I suggest you have pictures of the project in your files to document the work you did so you can identify any future work not done by you. I could file the letter in our records. If the City receives a subpoena for records in the future, your letter will be on file. Furthermore, you should consult with your own lawyer to ensure you have covered all other bases. > Regards, > Albert Salvador, P.E., C.B.O. > Building Official > City of Cupertino > On Aug 29, 2016, at 3:29 PM, DBlin <info. dblin. constructioni? mail.com<mailto:info. dblin.construction( a gmail.com>> wrote: > > Hi Albert, > Thank you for your quick response. In case the owner does not have another GC at this moment, and they don't want to be the owner builder, what can I do? Despite my multiple inquires, The owner is not confirming on the continuation of the project. The project has been on hold for two months, and I cannot be liable for the job site that I am not working on. It is a risk for me. I hope you understand my perspective from the GC point of view. > I checked with building department two months ago and was told that I CAN withdrawal from the permit, even the owner does not pick up the permit.
