Our coop experienced an inept roofing contractor a couple of years ago – long story short he tore off the old roofing right before a major downpour and it rained into one of the top floor apartments that night.
\nWe filed Small Claims and were awarded damaged, but the problem was the contractor closed out his bank account before we were able to collect.
\nWe now need to find his bank\/account info so that we can collect the money. We’re trying not to invest much\/any money into the process in case it doesn’t pay off. We’ve also used an “information subpoena” to no avail (to their landlord who didn’t collect the registered mail at the post office, and to Con Ed who responded that they’re not a customer).
\nI posted on Brownstoner a couple of days ago asking if anyone had used them recently in hopes of finding someone who could look at the back of their cancelled check to get the contractors bank info (that’s how we originally got it) but I’ve gotten no responses yet.
\nThe roofer in question is Champion Waterproofing. If anyone knows anything about them, in particular, or has any suggestions into how we could go about collecting from them PLEASE post a response to this topic. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
