Lance Puig (York Street Properties CEO) owes me $23, 255.00 for landscaping and remodeling work I and my crew did on houses over 2 years ago. I know he owes 100's of thousands of dollars to other contractors, but I want MY payment !
The work was done according to the specifications I was given and it was done in a timely fashion.
The invoices were approved by the "Construction Coordinators" after they were scrutinized for accuracy and property inspections were completed. After that, per agreement by Lance Puig I would be paid immediately after invoice receipt. After piddling around with payment on some smaller invoices I started getting the run-around and every excuse imaginable for not paying.
The lady I was dealing with at the time said that Lance was paying himself $25, 000 a month in salary before any other expense was paid. After that, he paid his contract labor. If there was money left over, then he would pay his bills. From what I was told and from the lack of funds I received, apparently there wasn't much money left over... instead of paying me he just got another contractor that was willing to give him credit (like I initially did), paid them a little so they would increase the credit limit - then screwed them too... that seems to be Lance Puig's "M.O."
My invoices were very complete and were backed-up with photos. The statements I sent (for what seems like 100's of times) included; my invoice number, the invoice date, the property name, a detailed work description, the date the work was completed, the invoice amount, the name of the construction coordinator that ordered and the name of the construction coordinator that approved the invoice for payment. The remodeling and the paperwork was done very professionally - the client, York Street Properties, is anything but professional.
My name is Mario Silva and I'm a victim of Lance Puig of York Street Properties

Questions: feel free to contact me through complaintsboard.com, [protected]@gmail.com, the Victims Group at [protected]@gmail.com or if you are York Street Properties please contact me through the details given on my invoices. By the way, there are postings about us all over the internet and they are ALL positive (unlike York Street Properties). We do great work !
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
A guy by the name of Lance Puig owns this company and every investor considering doing business with York Street Properties would be well served to follow BASIC research before investing:
1) Check the last 5 years of bank references.
2) Check with the local Better Business Bureau (BBB)
3) Get a list of ALL licenses, certifications, etc and then verify them.
4) Get copies of certified financial statements spanning at least 2 years with special emphasis on the last year. Get tax filings.
5) Talk with at least 10 past investors and get copies of the revenue statements. That's 10. Verify them carefully.
6) Talk with at least 10 remodel contractors and get statements spanning 2 years. That's 10. Verify them carefully for authenticity.
7) Do a background check on federal, state, county and city lawsuits.
8) Randomly look at properties listed on their website and/or have a home inspection done by a professional.
9) Property Managers require a real estate brokers license in Texas. Get a copy of this document before letting anybody manage
your properties and rental/mortgage money in Texas.
Do your homework. Get guarantees. Have your own attorney review contracts. Don't be rushed into anything. If its such a good deal, then get personal guarantees from Lance Puig. Check with other companies in the area that do the same thing - get a second opinion. Read what others may have said online and elsewhere.
Once you get started with your research you'll be glad you did. My best friend didn't do a thorough job of it and she will be paying for it now and in the years to come. There are many choices available out there - pick them carefully - this is very good advice that the FBI Mortgage Fraud office, SEC, Texas State Attorney General, Dallas District Attorney, Texas Real Estate Commission and others advocate - indeed, talk with them too.
Investors, Tenants, Potential Tenants, Contractors - BEWARE - this company and it's ownership should be avoided if you value your investments, good credit and personal or business security. Here are a few reasons, please feel free to do your own research - JUST BE SURE YOU DO - Lance Puig and York Street Properties, York Street Homes, York Street Investments and the numerous LLC's this organization operates under have caused 100's thousands of dollars of loss, 100's of wasted hours and countless heartaches for good people:
1) Debts and returns on investment are not honored in a timely fashion, if at all. 2) If you're tenant don't believe if you rent a home expecting to buy it that you ever will. It's a false promise - ask existing tenants. 3) If you're an investor; don't believe you are getting a safe, reliable, well maintained investment - ask past investors. 4) If you're a contractor; don't give this company or Lance Puig any credit - he does not pay. 5) Don't believe what you read on the website(s), in blogs or on radio shows. Icons are unauthorized, statements are false & exaggerated. 6) Don't believe mortgages (in your name) will be paid or debts for services will be paid - they won't be.

Following the recommendation of Federal, State and Local authorities; major banks have blacklisted York Street Properties from securing loans for the purposes of purchasing and securing properties. Further, authorities of the FTC are investigating new charges related to past transactions where Lance Puig and York Street Properties have lead property investors to believe they are properly licensed Real Estate and Investment Brokers.
Texas authorities alerted the FTC and encouraged them to get re-involved in the York Street Properties case. Recently the FTC ruled against Lance Puig and York Street Properties for unscrupulous business practices in Pennsylvania.
Potential Investors - particularly those with limited experience in property investment are encouraged to consult with licensed professionals and report any contacts with Lance Puig and York Street Properties.
Sounds to me like you ought to jump on the bandwagon and start filing some complaints and then some lawsuits. This guy appears to be an absolute farce !
