I completed major renovation of an upper-east-side co-op. My general contractor chose the subs, as is customary. In this situation, the plumber was Sanitary Plumbing & Heating. It has been nothing short of a disaster. We have had major leaks into the apartment below, which has cost me money and made me look terrible to my neighbors in the building. To add insult to injury, Sanitary is SUING ME for over $2,000 because they claim my contractor failed to pay them in full. Fortunately for me, they are so incompetent they failed to get a mechanics lien on the property.
I would just pay it to avoid the hassle of going to court, but I am so incensed by their behavior that i am going to leave work early to defend myself. To sum up: Terrible plumbing, completely unethical and outrageous chutzpah. I guess the only good thing I can say is that they showed up.
