Legal Question in Construction Law in California

Abandoned construction

Contractor took 15,000. I paid for permits, he didn't get them. Cited by the city. Room is no good and has to be knocked down due to no footings. Will be too expensive to build back up. Left damage on hardwood floors, stucco must be replaced, roof repaired. He won't answer phone calls. What is the best way to take care of this problem?
