Peralta + Holland architecture interiors Inc.
Insight to a false report by scamming people that wants free professional services.
28th of Aug, 2011 by Leah
Peralta + Holland architecture + interiors Inc. was not or ever involved or hired in any way to do architectural services for this anonymous scammer client. However, From the details provided by these bogus people it is obvious that they received competent professional services, this is clear by the fact that a Certificate of Occupancy was issued by the Department of Buildings thereby giving them the legal right to live in their home in the questioned property.
The issue of the neighbor’s chimney is also clearly bogus since a Certificate of Occupancy was in fact, issued.
1. The NYC Building Department inspector would have never agreed to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy with a chimney that is in violation of the building code.
We recommend that the owner go to the Building Department and review the approved drawings.
2. The issue with the self certification is also a false and clear attack on the creditability and reputation of this architect Robert Peralta since again a Certificate of Occupancy was issued which validates that ALL building department rules and regulations as set forth in their self certification program were indeed successfully followed. The fact that these people did not see the engineer on the premises is irrelevant since they were obviously not on the site 24/7.
3. It appears to me, that given what was written, this client probably made multiple modifications to the building departments approved drawings during construction, most likely several times; therefore it is the clients responsibly to get the changes to the drawings amended and approved by the Dept. of Buildings. The expeditor (who is just a person that runs drawings through the building department) and not a licensed architect or engineer) is hired and paid for by the client directly.
4.The completion of a project, any project is determined by the construction schedule put together by the contractor. The issue, complaint of a project taking 3 years to complete should be addressed with the contactor and not the design professional.
It is also clear that this client wants free professional services after all of the diligent competent work completed by the architect named Robert Peralta they want to recoup their more than fair fees for services rendered. Instead they chose to slander his good name and reputation while enjoying the fruits of his labor. As of note, the industry standard for architectural and engineering fees is typically 10 to 20% of the cost of construction for small-scaled projects such as the one described. For example, if the construction cost was 300k the a/e fee would have been 30 to 60k.
Professionals and clients as well, BEWARE of anonymous postings and doing work for people like this as they are clearly shysters and have absolutely no merit!

I agree!! its a shame that you/a company does all of the work, and then clients/owners refuse to pay or decide that all of a sudden they want to try to get even more money for services approved and completed. Karma will prevail as always.
