New Veeva Construction Inc. VeeVa Construction Inc. ViVa Home Inc. New Veeva Construction refused to refund my $5K deposit, no renovation work performed per contract New York New York
I contracted New Veeva Construction Inc. (a.ka. Veeva Construction, License Number 2021531-DCA) to renovate my co-op apartment last year. Mr. Johnny Lim, the contractor and owner, (a.k.a. Jiuen Yee Lim, Chongee Lim or Chon Gee Lim, also operates New Vivi Home Inc. a.ka. New ViVa Home Inc.)requested a $5,000.00 deposit/advance. He reassured me that it is a refundable deposit and the deposit would be applied against the contract price.
However, Mr. Lim failed to secure the proper insurance coverage required for the project and my renovation application was denied by the co-op. Mr. Lim was not allowed to work in my building. When I asked for my refund, he refused to return my deposit.
Subsequently, I took him to court and received a $5,478.63 judgement in my favor (case # S.C. 2648-17-41) from the Queens County Small Claim Court. As of today 4/26/2018, I have not received payment from Mr. Lim.
