Legal Question in Construction Law in Pennsylvania

notice to cure defective construction

my boyfriend who was a contractor built an additon for a lady and now is having problems. He was paid all but 700.00 of the money that he was owed. She said it was for repairs and that he should never come back on the property or she would have him arrested for trespassing. Now he has recieved a notice to cure defective construction. There was no contract signed only a bid that he had given to her. He has since closed the business down basically because of troubles that occured on her job. She has had an attorney draw up a punch list of repairs that she wants done.if he doesn't do it they will take legal action to cover damages.

He was in the construction business for 23yrs 15 of them on his own and has never had a problem until now.What rights does he have,Any? He has no insurance no liscence because he closed the business after he finished with her job.

He has to cure the problems, if not, she will be able to get a judgment for the cost of the repairs. Then he will be responsible for the judgment. There may be ways to avoid the execution of the judgment, he should consult with an attorney.
