following:
A. Perform any work unless it conforms to the provisions of the Code
of the Borough of Canonsburg and any and all regulations pursuant

Notwithstanding any other provision(s) of this Code, in the
event that a Building Code violation is created by any substandard,
unworkmanlike or otherwise improper improvement on a premises by a
home improvement business, the responsibility for the correction of
the violation and the liability for paying any fine assessed pursuant

the Building Code violation. The Borough may revoke the license issued
under this article if the licensee has failed to correct any such
violation.
Nothing in this article shall be construed to limit the rights
of any consumer who suffers any loss as a result of any action by

by the consumer.
