ED LIN & ASSOCIATES

Description of Work: WE NEEDED ENGINEERING WORK AND DRAWINGS TO OBTAIN CITY PERMITS FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF DECKS ON OUR 4 UNIT BUILDING. THIS 'PROJECT' IS GOING ON 9 MONTHS, AND NOT ONLY DO I NOT HAVE COMPLETED DRAWINGS, BUT THE ENGINEER'S BUSINESS NUMBER IS NOT IN SERVICE AND NO ONE ANSWERS AT HIS HOME NUMBER. HIS DEADLINE FOR THE DRAWING REVISIONS WAS A MEETING ON DECEMBER 5. HE DIDN'T SHOW AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT HIM AND IT'S NOW JANUARY 5. NO ONE ANSWERS AT HIS HOME. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF MY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH HIM. I HAD TO FAX HIM TO CONTACT HIM EARLIER, AS HIS WIFE SCREAMED AT ME AND DENIED THAT HE STILL LIVED AT THE ADDRESS, WHEN IN FACT HE DID. HE ALSO GAVE ODD RECOMMENDATIONS SUCH AS 'DOING A SMALL AMOUNT OF CONCRETE WORK' WILL COST THE SAME AS PAVING THE ENTIRE BACK AREA BECAUSE THE CONTRACTOR HAS TO MOVE THE CONCRETE. I CHECKED WITH THE CONTRACTOR, AND THE CONTRACTOR NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ODD THING. RUN AWAY FROM THIS ENGINEER.
