ALJ affirms violations, fines Johnny Partida and suspends John Lewis Landscape license pending financials
Summary
The Administrative Law Judge found multiple violations by Johnny Partida (dba John Lewis Landscape), fined the respondent and immediately suspended license number 92792 until financials are submitted; failure to pay fines and provide financials will lead to automatic revocation.
At a disciplinary hearing on April 8, 2026, Administrative Law Judge Richard Scotti affirmed multiple allegations against Johnny Partida (doing business as John Lewis Landscape, License No. 92792) and ordered fines and an immediate license suspension pending receipt of financials by the State Contractors' Board.
The ALJ stated in the record: "The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ORDERS that Allegation #1 is affirmed; that Respondent is in violation of Allegation #2 and fined $500; that Respondent is in violation of Allegation #3 and fined $500; that the ALJ finds joint responsibility in Allegation #4. That the ALJ FURTHER ORDERS that license number 92792 is immediately suspended until the Board receives Respondent's financials." The minutes further direct that the respondent has 30 days to pay original fines and fees totaling $2,050 and 60 days from April 8, 2026 to pay additional fines of $1,000 plus fees and costs; failure to comply will result in automatic revocation of the license.
Board compliance supervisors and investigators provided sworn testimony during the hearing. The ALJ’s order is a formal disciplinary determination recorded in the minutes; the Board will assess fees and costs and carry out the suspension unless the respondent pays the ordered amounts and submits the requested financial documentation within the deadlines stated.
