Default Licensed NJ home inspector calls his client the "N" word and "C" word.

Today, Joe Farsetta and I were asked to intercede in a complaint about an former NACHI member, current member of that other association, and currently New Jersey State licensed home inspector who left a threatening message on his client's answering machine (I heard it myself) which among other things, used the "N" word and the "C" word in referring to the black, female client.

My reason for posting this is to ask, what part of the membership requirements and/or the State licensing requirements could be improved to prevent this in the future?

I think you all understand where I'm going with this. The answer of course is that we can't possibly do anything to predict or prevent such incidents.

Simply demonstrating competence in our profession does not mean that one will do everything right all the time.

Nick,

They are already there:

Quote:
Duty to the Public
  1. The NACHI member shall abide by the Code of Ethics and substantially follow the NACHI Standards of Practice.
  2. The NACHI member will not engage in any practices that could be damaging to the public or bring discredit to the home inspection industry.
  3. The NACHI member shall be fair, honest, impartial, and act in good faith in dealing with the public.
  4. The NACHI member will not discriminate in any business activities on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, sexual orientation, or handicap and shall comply with all federal, state and local laws concerning discrimination
It's simply a matter of enforcement to see that people, such as the person you described, cannot publicly claim to be associated with us. I'll bet that "other" association would feel the same way.

I would certainly think they would.
