Popular Pool Company Loses Permit Privileges For A Year In Hillsborough County
Building officials cite “electrical life safety issues.” Company owner says decision is not fair
TAMPA, Fla. Cox Pools of the Gulf Coast is dealing with upset customers who say their pools arent getting finished fast enough, and now the company is fighting a one-year permit suspension from Hillsborough County building officials.
Citing electrical life safety issues the county suspended permitting privileges. A county spokeswoman said the hope is to protect future customers while the company fixes ongoing issues.
The countys building board ruled on the suspension on Jan. 19, citing the company for failure to obtain final electrical and child safety inspections before filling a pool with water.
The county says the company has numerous electrical life safety issues. Investigator Shannon Behnken reached out to company owner Hillary Bello. She wouldnt speak on camera but said she thinks the countys suspension was unfair and said she is appealing at next months board meeting.
Bello blamed pool delays on material and worker shortages, but insisted she can finish the more than 50 pools.
Were taking a step back and slowed down our sales side accommodate these ongoing jobs, she said.
This news doesnt sit well with customers like Nosa Owens of Seffner. She says shes paid $74,000 and owes just $3,000 more but cant get answers as to when her pool will be finished.
