Rella Fogliano, a real estate developer who knows one or two things about project management, claims that three HLK operators in her luxury house in Eastchester had botched a job of 732,850 US dollars.
Fogliano and its Macquesten -Bauverwaltungsgesellschaft accused Mt. Kisco Mechanical Service Corp., Thuesen Mechanical Corp. and Paraco HLK for breaches of contract in a complaint submitted on April 18 at the West Chester's Supreme Court. It demands 530,492 US dollars of money damage.
A co-generation system that should cost $ 116,000, but is, for example, to more than $ 165,000 “in an extremely useless state and condition”, the complaint says.
The contractors did not respond to messages in which they asked about their sides of history.
Fogliano has headed Macquesten Construction in Pelham since 2003. It has designed and built affordable residential projects and commercial properties in the Bronx and West Chest. The company offers on its website that it provides high -quality real estate projects “on time and in the budget”.
In 2017, Fogliano paid 2.05 million US dollars for a house in Lake Isle Estates, Eastchester, which was built in 1955.
In 2019 she agreed to Mt. Kisco Mechanical Service Corp. to pay from Bedford Hills, $ 576,000 for mechanical, HVAC and CO generation systems. She agreed to pay the Thuesen Mechanical Corp., Mount Kisco, 156,850 US dollars for sanitary and fire protection work. (At some point after the complaint, Thuesen was acquired or merged by Paraco HVAC.)
The costs for the sanitary and fire protection of Thuesen rose by 37,695 US dollars by February 2024. But four months later, in the complaint, the work was still not done, the contractor had used improper components, and a meltdown system did not work well.
The costs for the HLK and CO generation of Mt. Kisco Mechanical, including a part assigned to thuese, rose around $ 187,233.
The HLK system still does not work properly, it says in the complaint, but the contractors have only proposed the fogliano that it kept the door to the improperly ventilated mechanical space of their house in the amount of several million dollars so that the hot air could be spilled and warmed up in the lower left wing of the house. “
Everyone met in the house in the house on June 20, 2024, as is necessary due to the contracts to accommodate disputes, the complaint, but the meeting was unsuccessful.
Fogliano terminated the sanitary contract in July 2024 and the HLK and CO generation contract on February 3.
The contractors allegedly refused to bring the dispute to a mediation service, according to the complaint, according to the conditions for the lawsuit.
Fogliano demands $ 530,492: including $ 100.00 for HLK work, $ 165,059 for sanitary and fire protection and $ 265,433 for the co-generation system.
