On 4/19/2019 I signed a contract with Miles Davis of Action Demolition LLC. The work to be performed was for the demolition of a house. The house had caught fire the previous year, and therefore needed to be knocked down. He promised that this would be completed in timely manner, so I gave him a $1,000 deposit to start work. I told him that I needed the demo to be completed pronto, as the city is charging a fee of $375 a month due to it being a dangerous building, and he promised to get started in the next few weeks. Fast forward to July and the city building department gets in contact with me to inform me that if I don’t get the house knocked down in a timely manner, the city will hire a contractor on my behalf to have it demolished. The director asks for Mr. Davis phone number and speaks with him personally. Mr. Davis informs the city department that he will get started in a few weeks. Not satisfied with the vague timeline, I press Mr. Davis to give me a start date and tells me Saturday 7/6. However, 7/6 comes and he still has not started, so I contact him on Monday 7/8 and at this point he is deploying different delay tactics. After going back and forth for a few more weeks, he finally ends all contact with me on 7/18. I have called, text, and email him but he has refused to answer me. This contract turned out to be a complete scam, as everything he was telling me was a lie.
