RE:
Waiver request submitted by Albert Petrie, a member of the Rivergate Development Corporation, regarding a $350 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Tier 2.1 pfd 7 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Petrie states that the notice was addressed to the wrong suite which caused a delay in Mr. Petrie getting the notice of delinquency. A review of the records confirms that the letters were addressed to the wrong suite number. However, it appears that Mr. Petrie signed for the notice of delinquency and the time delays do not begin to run until receipt of the notice.
