Three C Contracting

Close up photo of the crook Albert Ioanna
The homeowner, whom I will refer to as Mrs. X, hired Albert Ioanna and Ioanna Contracting Inc. at 4 Colgate Drive, Smithtown NY 11787, in late July or August of 2011 to do a complete renovation of her property in Commack which I will refer to as the Fisher House. It was also to be made handicap accessible as her brother JD is disabled. She trusted Albert as she had hired him before in the mid-1980s to build an addition to the same property.
Between then to mid June of 2012, Howard B. [continued below]....
Report Attachments:

..... Weber, Esq., have paid Albert Ioanna more than $510K, and he walked off the job on September 3rd 2012, leaving the house a damaged and gutted husk. Since then, Mrs. X and JD had been trying to find justice with both Consumer Affairs and the District Attorney's Office of Suffolk County, so far with great success. Suffolk County Consumer Affairs Investigator Greg Spencer said: "In my opinion, Mrs. X was robbed!" As of now, instead of fighting the charges against him, Albert had surrendered his license and paid several fines.
When Albert Ioanna commenced on the renovation at the Fisher House, JD regularly visited the house to check up on the progress. What he found is that Albert was not on the premises most of the time to supervise. He would often leave his workers and sub-contractors to their own devices and JD would find many things not being done according to the plans drew up by the draftsman Rich Ebert of Race Engineering (71 Tallmadge Trail, Miller Place, NY 11764-2327), nor to Mrs. X's requests and specifications.
One major example was the brickwork for the outside walls of the house. Mrs. X and JD were very specific. They wanted to convert the house to brick. The asbestos shingles currently inside the walls were to be removed before having the walls put up. Albert was to hire an environmental remover with the money Mrs. X paid him to have the shingles removed properly. Apparently Albert saw that as cutting into his profits. He did not remove the shingles and have the walls put up over them.
Both Mrs. X and JD suspect that Albert was trying to put the walls up as quickly as possible so nobody would know that the asbestos shingles were still in place and never removed. As a result of the non-removal of the asbestos, they were disturbed by the other sub-contractors as they need to drill into the walls to install the electrical system and other basic necessities.
To add insult to injury, the bricklayer Albert hired, William Procida (436 Blue Point Road, Farmingdale, NY), turns out to be not licensed nor insured. Furthermore, he was doing sub-standard work. He did not use brick ties to tie the bricks to the existing wall and some are already falling out. He would stop working on a wall one day and start the job again, not the next day, but the next week or two, ignoring the sequence and pattern of the bricks he was laying down the previous time. He was also using automotive antifreeze in the brick mortar.
Finally, Mr. Procida brought onto the premises an assistant, Brian Nenos, who would went on to steal JD's Cartier ring.
As by this time, JD have now moved into the house full time to keep an eye on the construction. He have to bring his 2 golden retrievers with him and he was basically living in one of the bathrooms as that room was among the last to be taken apart for renovation. So all his personal effects, including his money and jewelry was in there, and he left specific instructions that no one is to go in there. JD had advised Albert not to use the garage as there is a safe there in which he can store his valuables. Albert dismissed JD's request.
In November of 2011, JD found his ring was gone, the police was called and a report filed. Mr. Nenos denied taking it but was later caught on camera hocking it at the Commack Jewelry Exchange pawn shop. The ring was returned to JD and Mr. Nenos have to pay him restitution for the theft. Assistant District Attorney Sonia Sullivan was immensely helpful and was instrumental in retrieving the ring and getting JD justice.
Another sub-contractor, Charles Doherty of Three C Contracting (10 Westwind Drive, Bohemia NY 11716) along with Mr. Procida, was also uninsured. In fact, both Mr. Procida and Mr. Doherty's certificates of insurance were purchased after work have already been started and also after JD and Mrs. X's insistence to verify their insurance.
By August of 2012, a full year have passed since Albert was hired, the house was still far from finished. Things that required to be done included but not limited to:
*The entire floor in the house have not been installed.
