After how long may a project be presumed abandoned under s. 489.129(1)(j)?

Correct Answer

A) 90 days, where the contractor terminates without just cause or fails to perform for 90 consecutive days

Section 489.129(1)(j): abandoning a project is a ground for discipline, and "a project may be presumed abandoned after 90 days if the contractor terminates the project without just cause or without proper notification to the owner, including the reason for termination, or fails to perform work without just cause for 90 consecutive days." Proper notice with a reason is what keeps a stoppage from becoming abandonment.

Answer Options
A
90 days, where the contractor terminates without just cause or fails to perform for 90 consecutive days
B
180 days, where the contractor has neither invoiced nor requested an inspection
C
30 days, where the contractor has stopped work and has not answered the owner’s own written demand letter
D
45 days, measured from the last inspection approved by the building department

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Section 489.129(1)(j): abandoning a project is a ground for discipline, and "a project may be presumed abandoned after 90 days if the contractor terminates the project without just cause or without proper notification to the owner, including the reason for termination, or fails to perform work without just cause for 90 consecutive days."
