According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, A & B REMODELING LLC — a construction facility located at 230 W COMMERCE ST, MINERAL POINT, WI 53565 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 2 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $132,889.00. The inspection case was opened on 2025-08-13.
This facility represents one of the most severe enforcement actions in the OSHA SVEP database. Willful violations combined with penalties exceeding $100,000 indicate a pattern of deliberate non-compliance that poses an imminent danger to workers.
Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $132,889.00 is more than 36.8× the national average of $3,609.14 for facilities in the Construction sector (NAICS 238160). This sector encompasses 532,749 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,922.8M.
State Context: Within WI, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 43,331 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,505.68.
Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 2 citations spanning 2 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 willful — The employer intentionally and knowingly committed the violation, demonstrating either an intentional disregard for the requirements of the OSH Act or plain indifference to employee safety and health. 1 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.
Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning September 24, 2025 with the latest abatement deadline set for March 19, 2026. Of the 2 total citations, 0 (0%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
Penalty Assessment: The per-citation average of $66,444.50 exceeds OSHA's FY2024 statutory maximum of $16,131 for serious violations, indicating the presence of willful or repeat classifications that carry enhanced penalty authority under Section 17 of the OSH Act.
The enforcement action against A & B Remodeling LLC underscores a severe breakdown in fundamental safety management, characterized by a high-gravity Willful violation of the residential construction fall protection standard (1926.501(b)(13)). The assessment of a $132,411 penalty for a single fall protection citation is an extraordinary financial sanction for a roofing contractor, signaling that OSHA identified an intentional disregard for worker safety or a plain indifference to legal requirements. In practical terms, this suggests that employees were likely working at heights exceeding six feet without any form of personal fall arrest systems, guardrails, or safety nets, despite the employer’s presumed knowledge of the hazard. The disparity between the singular Willful citation and the nominal Other-than-Serious violation for failing to post required documentation indicates a systemic failure rather than an isolated oversight. While many small contractors face Serious violations for fall hazards, the escalation to Willful status suggests a history of non-compliance or a blatant rejection of industry-standard safety protocols. This enforcement profile places the firm in a high-risk category for future monitoring under the Severe Violator Enforcement Program (SVEP). For workers, the lack of institutionalized fall protection in a high-hazard NAICS code like 238160 represents a life-threatening environment where the primary cause of construction fatalities is left unmitigated by management.
