I entered into contract with *** on about the spring of 2017. After entering into contract, I applied for plumbing, heating and mechanical permits to the city of *** to perform services of installing six independent heating systems and six bathrooms and kitchens at 510 18th Avenue ***, New Jersey. I filled out my part of a plumbing, heating and mechanical permit process. The complete permit package was denied by the building department of the City ***. I inquired as to why and I was told the architect drawings were incomplete. The building department of the City of *** wanted plumbing, heating and mechanical drawings, which were nonexistent on the architect blue prints that were filed prior. I apprised ***, I offered, at a fee, to draw up the plumbing, soil, waste, vent, mechanical and domestic potable water schematics to help move along the process of securing permits, to move the process along. I also offered to draw up mechanical schematics to show the placements of the heating boilers, hot water heaters and gas piping locations along with gas pipe diameters and BTU gas loads, in the basement of the building, these were all missing from the architects original drawings. The permits were denied again, because I was told the architect never drew the boiler rooms nor the laundry room in the basement of the original blue prints that were submitted prior. I made numerus trips to the building department of the City of ***, per ***s request, to meet with the building, plumbing, heating and mechanical chief inspectors. I made numerus trips with the architect and *** to go over building, plumbing, heating and mechanical drawings, locations and placement of fixtures, boilers piping and mechanical arrangements, laundry room and sump pump pits. All the original schematics which PATCO Plumbing & heating I, Inc. submitted to the building department of the City of *** were approved the first time. The issue was that the architect allegedly did not, but must, include the schematic in the newly drawn up blueprints in order to approve the full building, plumbing, heating mechanical and electrical permit package. I believe the architect, in my over forty years in the plumbing and heating industry, was a bit challenged, just an observation.On or about mid summer of 2017 after corresponding and keeping in touch with *** throughout the spring and summer, I was told the complete permit package, building, mechanical, plumbing and heating from the building department of the City of *** was approved, *** thanked me profusely and said that I was instrumental in the process of approval and thanked me numerus times.. “Could not have done this without you, please send me an invoice for your services”. The services I provided to *** were above and beyond the scope of the original contract we had entered into prior. I said we will work it out and I would send an invoice for services rendered. On or about late summer of 2017, *** informed me the “carpenters” were working on rebuilding the burnt out part of the building. I visited the site to witness the progress numerous times. *** informed me that the building would be ready by or about “December 15, 2017” for me to start the plumbing and heating installations. I informed her I was finishing up another project, but I could reasonably start in the beginning of the new year. She was agreeable to that.On or about December 15, 2017 when I arrived on the site to see if the building was ready for the piping installations, I was told by ***’s “carpenter foreman” that the building’s “internal rooms were going to be reconfigured” that the “original blue prints were incorrect” and that it is “not ready for the plumbing and heating installations at this time”, “Maybe by February 2018”. When I apprised *** of this revelation she told me there was a “window “situation and she made the decision to “reconfigure the rooms on all three floors and six apartments”. I had asked for the official and approved updated set of blue prints, which by the building department of the City of ***, mandated to be kept on site, and which I worked with *** and the architect to receive, I was told by *** there “aren’t any, anymore”. I said I need them to proceed. I was told the architect was going to “draw up new ones”. But still *** still wanted me to start work on an unfinished interior design and unfinished build out without approved blue prints by the building department of the City of ***... On or about winter of 2018, I had a meeting with *** at the site, she had asked me to design the new bathrooms and tub locations; I already had the tubs delivered to the site... I went over the proposed new locations with her and noticed that there were air conditioning ducts being installed by workmen. She, ***, told me the ducts were for central heating also and asked me if I had a “problem with that”. I said, “I have a fully executed contract with approved permits to do the plumbing, heating and mechanical installations” I said you deviated radically from the original blueprints and totally disregarded the fact that we have a fully executed contract for not only the heating, but the plumbing installation and mechanical installations as well”. At that time I had asked *** to put the remainder of PATCO P. & H I, Inc. payments of the fully executed contracts we sighed into either mine or her attorneys escrow account. She agreed and one or two weeks later I received a letter from her attorney not to proceed because I took “too long to start the work”??? I went to the building department of the City of *** and reported what had happened. I was advised to cancel my plumbing, heating and mechanical permits to that building and supply a letter of same so anyone working there would not work under my license. I did. Since I was removing my license number and cancelling my permits the building department was going to stop work at the site.In conclusion, ***, by her own actions and demonstrations, reneged on both heating, plumbing and mechanical, fully executed contracts that she entered into and injured PATCO P. & H. I, Inc.Also, allegedly deceived me, Richard A. B, prs. by stringing me along and not paying for additional services rendered. *** is officially “On Notice” by this reply to the Revdex.com to make PATCO P. & H.I, Inc. whole again. Subterfuge comes to my mind!Sincerely
