Gentlemen:
You don't specify in your letter if you are the "financially responsible" individual, or just the qualifying agent. I would suggest that if the extent of your employment was simply as an employee, (as your letter seems to indicate) and that you had no financial responsibility for this company, you make sure that your work conformed to code standards (at the time of permitting) and then have another more informed discussion with your former employer. Warrantee work may fall to the construction company, not the qualifying agent/employee.
Best of luck.

I looked for statutes involving construction warranties a few years back and 
couldn't find anything, however, at a previous point I remember seeing a 
3-year implied warranty somewhere but nobody could confirm that.

In any case, I believe that as the "License Holder", anything built under 
your license is assumed to conform to the building code that was in effect 
when it was built. In essence, that is a life of the structure warranty that 
it conforms to code. It is my guess that both the company and you are 
equally liable for code violation claims.

As for non-code violations, you would need to look at federal and state 
statutes that involve "implied warranties". I believe a 3-year warranty is 
set forth somewhere but like I said nobody in this forum could find it a few 
years back.

Next job get a hold harmless indemnification.
