"Lordon Management, a Southern California-based family-owned company that represents, among others, the Lake Lindero, Annandale, and Liberty Canyon neighborhoods of Agoura Hills as part of its 200-member California HOA portfolio, filed for bankruptcy Nov. 3 in the Central District of California. It lists between 50 and 99 creditors to whom it owes nearly $15 million in judgments, wages, products and services. The company, which has offices in Covina, Camarillo and Tustin, lists assets between $500,000 and $1 million. The business could not be reached for comment.

EMPIREWORKS AND THE DIRTY TRICKS THEY USE TO LURE HOA'S INTO A FINANCIAL TRAP.

We had a conversation with a concerned member of an HOA over the last couple days and his concern was regarding empire works + the contract that they propose to make repairs to his association's decks in Ventura County. Watch my video at our YouTube channel here at the link below.

From a newsletter posted at the association. 

A Google review shows one angry client who felt Empireworks is running a scam. 

the contract appeared to be open-ended with numerous exclusions + when he attended his board meeting last night, he found that empire works had actually waived the fee for the stage 1 inspection provided they performed the repair work on the balconies.

this should be a clear warning sign, but the association thought that it was a good deal until they came up against a million dollar bill and having to pass a special assessment. This is why contractors need to be banned from bidding on repairs at associations they inspect.

It turns out that empire works is using an architect who although he's licensed In California, he actually lives in Tennessee. which means that he is robo signing their reports and he admits as much in his cover letter by saying Empireworks performed the inspection.

326 needs to be amended to ban inspectors from bidding on repairs.
