DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS - PENALTY PAYMENTS
4. Reporting payment of $200 restitution on 3-31-2009... in the matter of:
ROBERT ROGAN. LMP # 11115 - CONSENT ORDER 10-27-2008;
Penalty payment $500 paid 10-27-2008

This matter was opened to the New Jersey State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers (hereinafter “the Board”) upon receipt of a complaint from consumer O.O., alleging that Robert Rogan ("respondent") removed the manufacturers' warranty stickers from O.O.'s hot water heaters and refused to return them. O.O. hired respondent to replace a leaking hot water heater protected under the manufacturer's warranty. Prior to undertaking the work, respondent assured O.O. that he would provide a receipt for any money paid by O.O. Two hundred dollars ($200) was paid as a deposit on the labor charge to replace the leaking hot water heater.
Respondent did not provide a receipt, and when O.O. asked for a receipt, respondent increased the price to replace the hot water heater. O.O. later discovered that respondent removed the warranty sticker from the faulty hot water heater, as well as the warranty sticker from the good water heater. Respondent declined to return the stickers unless O.O. paid respondent seventy five dollars ($75). A Monmouth County Superior Court judge, who presided at the trial of a lawsuit brought by O.O. against respondent's plumbing business, found respondent illegally removed warranty stickers from the hot water heaters in order to coerce payments from O.O. The judge reported the matter to the Attorney General.
Respondent, in a letter dated April 17, 2007, claimed he increased the price to install the water heater because O.O.'s water heater was not a regular water heater and was more complicated to install. Respondent did not leave a receipt for the two hundred dollar ($200) deposit because he and O.O. agreed to settle the bill after the hot water heater was replaced. Respondent failed to address in his letter his removal of the warranty stickers.
Having reviewed the entire record it appears to the Board that these facts establish a basis for disciplinary action, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 45:1-21(e), in that respondent engaged in professional misconduct by removing the warranty stickers from the customer's hot water heaters and refusing to return them unless the customer paid respondent an additional fee of $75.00. It appearing that respondent desires to resolve this matter without recourse to formal proceedings and for good cause shown:
1. Respondent is hereby reprimanded for the conduct outlined above in violation of N.J.S.A. 45:1-21(e).
2. Respondent paid a civil penalty, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 45:1-22, in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500) for professional misconduct in removing the manufacturers' warranty stickers from the water heaters and refusing to return them to the consumer in violation of N.J.S.A. 45:1-21(e).
3. Respondent reimbursed O.O. in the amount of two hundred dollars ($200)
4. Respondent shall cease and desist from the violations described herein. Subsequent violations will subject respondent to enhanced penalties pursuant to N.J.S.A. 45:1-25 and further disciplinary action.
