The Department of Consumer Protection said its records show neither Borcina nor his company, Tiberias Construction Inc., is currently registered to perform home improvement work in Connecticut. Registration is required by state law and provides certain contractual rights to the consumer, according to the department. "We do not yet have enough information about what work was being done or had been completed," the agency said. "We will address the pertinent regulatory issues in due course." Repeated attempts to contact Borcina by telephone since the fire killed the children and their grandparents have been unsuccessful. Campbell Badger said his nieces were "wonderful, delightful energetic children." "They were loved tremendously by their mother and their father, who always put their kids first," he said. He said his brother, a television commercial director who lives in New York, was involved in all aspects of his daughters' lives and played all types of games and activities with them, including soccer, rollerblading and painting. He said the Johnson and Badger families are grateful for the public support, which has included floral bouquets, stuffed animals and candles left by passers-by at the site of the torn-down Victorian home. "We are really touched," he said. "Everyone wants to help in any way they can. We feel it, and it's remarkable."
