If the carriers damaging structures had to pay out of pocket to repair them, I dare say they might finally learn a valuable lesson. $575 is nothing, but a $2,000,000 repair bill might be the only formula to deal with repeat offenders. One other approach may be to only permit carriers which can post a bond – if you can’t secure a bond, you can’t get a permit.
The biggest problem in this industry remains to be the lack of substantial consequences for shoddy workmanship.
