A Thiells home-improvement contractor convicted of ripping off a Nyack homeowner for $5,000 received a five-month jail sentence and a $1,000 fine during an appearance in state Supreme Court in New City.

A jury convicted Jerry Cioffi in October of stealing the money after not fulfilling his contract in April 2010 to construct a sewer line at the Nyack home of his customer. Cioffi never applied for permits and didn’t do any work for the $5,000 down payment on the $10,000 job.

Rockland County District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe announced Thursday that Jerry Cioffi of Thiells was sentenced to four months in jail after being convicted of one count of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree. Cioffi, a plumbing contractor, was found guilty of the Class D Felony after a jury trial, which began on October 5, 2011.  He was found guilty after two hours of deliberations.
