Portions of work completed and progress payments will be based upon complete work items, not materials delivered to the project, start-up costs, or partial completions. Payments to contractors for work performed will be made within thirty (30) days of inspections. Complaint and Appeal Procedures Verbal complaints of any nature and by any party shall be documented and resolved by. the Housing Rehabilitation Coordinator as informally and quickly as possible. Written complaints received by the Housing Rehabilitation Coordinator or the City of Martinsville will be resolved and documented in consultation with the Housing Rehabilitation Program Board.
