The former director of failed Tauranga construction company Bella Vista Homes has had his bid for a second appeal declined.
Twenty-one homes in a housing development were declared dangerous or not up to scratch and had to be abandoned in 2018.
Danny Cancian was ordered to pay $60,000 for breaches of the Building Act in respect to three properties - 297 and 301 Lakes Boulevard, and 5 Aneta Way.
Cancian appealed his convictions and had one of them dropped.
