THE LANDLORD CONTRACTING & DEVELOPMENT GROUP

Tony Alessandro was the contractor who represented himself from Manhattan Design & Remodeling Group, as well as Medina Construction and The Landlord Contracting and Development Group. Please be advised at the outset that this is not merely a poor contractor, this man is a thief, a liar and a conman. He gave us a number of positive recommendations which turned out to be from years ago. During the last two years, he has scammed numerous people. He takes a large deposit on the job and asks for weekly payments to cover payroll and materials. Most weeks there was one man here, often doing nothing because there were no materials. Tony continued to reassure us that there was no problem. We started paying suppliers directly because we found out that he was not paying for the materials he claimed to have ordered and he was not paying his workers who often came to us looking for money. The man stole money from us and others without using that money for our jobs. He claimed that he was involved in a real estate deal that fell through and that was why the money was gone. Worker after worker quit because they weren't being paid, only the materials we ourselves paid for were delivered. After becoming suspicious, we questioned suppliers, his workers and other clients of Tony Alessandro and we found that everyone was being cheated. Most of his recent jobs have ended with him being fired and with new contractors being brought in to finish the job. We have done the same. He is being sued by numerous people, he owes many thousands of dollars to his suppliers and his workers. He is using the insurance and license number of a previous employer who he longer has anything to do with. The story is much longer and more involved but we do know that he is continuing to defraud people who are caught up by his low prices and his excellent "used car" salesmanship. BEWARE!
