SUMMARY SUSPENSIONS
CASCADE POOLS INC #32065 - SUMMARY SUSPENSION
Gregory Michael Majeroff, President, Cascade Pools Inc, was present with legal counsel,
Keith Gregory.
Mr. Lyford, Director, Special Investigations, stated an investigation had been conducted in
regard to Cascade Pools for approximately one year. There were currently eight
workmanship complaints, 13 industry regulation (IR) complaints consisting primarily of pool
regulation violations, and 1 criminal complaint. Mr. Lyford said that it was his belief that the
criminal complaint was a continuing criminal activity, and that citizens were being harmed.
Attorney Gregory provided the Board with the information that of the 8 workmanship
complaints, 7 had been resolved. He said he had letters from the homeowners requesting
that those complaints be withdrawn. Attorney Gregory believed the 13 IR complaints arose
from old contracts that the Licensee had voluntarily provided to the Board. The contracts
had since been corrected, and it was his understanding from NSCB Investigator Greg
Welsh that his client was no longer violating those regulations. Attorney Gregory then
spoke to Mr. Majeroff’s mortgage company and its current standing with the Commissioner
of Financial Affairs, which was that it was in compliance. There were no complaints that
had been filed by the District Attorney. Attorney Gregory stated that there was no evidence
showing that the public health, safety, and welfare was in jeopardy.
More discussion followed regarding the workmanship complaints, the IR’s, the criminal
complaint, and Mr. Majeroff’s mortgage company.
Mr. Welsh testified that the current contracts were in compliance. But Mr. Welsh added that
the board office had received over 20 phone calls requesting complaint forms. The latest
involved a lien that was placed on a home by a subcontractor on a pool that had been
completed. The complainant had supplied Mr. Welsh with a list of subcontractors. This
subcontractor who filed the lien was not on the list.
