Blackstock, Jesse L., PE Suspended, Negligence, $2,500 Fine
Summary
Jesse L. Blackstock, PE (License No. 69925) had his Florida professional engineering license suspended by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers for negligence in the practice of engineering. Through his firm, Blackstock Engineering Unlimited Inc., Blackstock contracted to design and procure site plan approval for a 6,000-square-foot industrial building in San Antonio, Pasco County, but failed to submit the county application and did not refund fees paid for work not performed. The Board imposed a fine of $2,500 plus costs of $1,459.90 and requires personal appearance before reinstatement.
“The Board suspended licensee's Florida PE license until reinstated by the Board.”
Professional engineers and engineering firms operating in Florida should review their client communication and refund practices. The Board explicitly cited failure to submit permit applications and failure to refund fees for undelivered services as negligent practice under Section 471.033(1)(g), F.S. and Rule 61G15-19.001(4), F.A.C. These dual failures — incomplete work plus no refund — appear to have been aggravating factors that elevated the sanction beyond a warning.
