LO realtor now convicted criminal for hiring cheaper day laborers to remodel asbestos-laden home
2015-10-27 21:19:24| Real Estate - Topix.net
A Lake Oswego real-estate agent who investigators say tried to cut corners -- by hiring untrained day laborers to remove asbestos from a trendy Southeast Portland house that he was flipping -- pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor crime. William Gaffney had no previous criminal history, but state investigators say his actions in March 2014 moved into the criminal realm when he failed to hire a trained asbestos-abatement company to gut the 1908 Craftsman-style home, just steps from hip Hawthorne Boulevard.
