Viking Appliance 845 617 1111 Repair Service in Pearl River, NY - Video
The 11 News I-Team has learned that an appliance repairman who was ordered to give reparations to clients who officials said he took payments from and made false promises to seems to be at it again.
I-Team reporter Mindy Basara looked into allegations against David Mansel, of Pasadena, and his company, Maryland Appliance Repair, more than a year ago.

Mansel was accused of taking large deposits of money from clients, promising to come back and do the work, but consumers said he instead took the money and they never saw him again.
When Bertha Burgess' dishwasher broke just before Thanksgiving, she needed it to be fixed fast, so she grabbed the Yellow Pages and saw a full page ad for Appliance Repair Wizard, a business owned by Maryland Appliance Repair. She said she called the number, and the repairmen came to her Ellicott City home the next day.
"It was two gentlemen. They came in, and I showed them the dishwasher. They took the panel apart, and he told me it would cost $309 to repair," Burgess said.
She said she gave the men a $200 deposit for parts. She said they promised to come back in a few days, but they didn't. Meanwhile, her check cleared.
"Once the check was cashed, I began calling, and no one was answering my calls," Burgess said.
Ruth Williams knows what that's like. She called Maryland Appliance Repair to fix her dryer. She said Mansel, the company's owner, came to her Columbia townhouse and told her he needed a deposit for a new belt and pulley.
"I wrote a check for $100," Williams said.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -
In Southeast Louisiana, a lot of us know what it's like to lose good food in the fridge, especially when the power goes out during a hurricane. It's costly and inconvenient, and one Gentilly woman faced living without her fridge for an entire month when her appliance broke. She called the FOX 8 Defenders for help and got results.
"I had no way of keeping anything cool," Maudra Dangerfield said. Her side-by-side refrigerator was pretty stocked last month when she noticed something was wrong.
"I looked on the kitchen floor, and water was on the kitchen floor. I opened the refrigerator, and everything was defrosted," she explained. Dangerfield says she bought the appliance from Sears less than five years ago, and it was still under the extended warranty so she called Sears for service.
"I called them the next day, which was January 4th, and told them I needed repair, and they went to the computer and they didn't have anything for me until February the 4th, and I told her I never heard of such before," Dangerfield said. When asked why it would take a whole month to get a service crew out to her home, she told the FOX 8 Defenders that Sears didn't have any workers in the area.
She couldn't believe she'd have to wait 32 days for service. Dangerfield had already lost hundreds of dollars in food. She said, "I threw it away, everything in my freezer and everything in the refrigerator."
She's a diabetic who has to watch her diet. Living without a refrigerator for a whole month would be tough for a healthy person. "I would cook, and I had to cook just a little bit because you can't leave food out you know, and I just got aggravated, and I got the phone book, and I called you all. I called FOX 8 Defenders," Dangerfield said.
She made one call to the FOX 8 Defenders, and within 24 hours, Dangerfield says she got answers. "The next day Sears called me and told me they had worked me up on the schedule, that they would be there to me that morning before 12," Dangerfield said.
She said it took two repairmen about 20 minutes to repair the fridge, which had dust built up in the motor. Dangerfield's fridge and freezer were back in business, and all of a sudden, little things - like cooking - weren't so difficult any more.
"Everything is going well thanks to FOX 8 Defenders," Dangerfield said. Fortunately, her appliance was still under warranty so the service repair didn't cost her a penny.

Residents of a Garden City apartment building say they had to scramble to find new places to live Wednesday.
Horry County code enforcement officials deemed the building in the Cambridge Apartments complex to be unfit for occupancy Tuesday, and tenants in four of the eight units were given 24 hours to move out.
The tenants say the sudden eviction caught them off-guard.
"All we can do is look for another place to live," said tenant David Brouwer.
The Noble Company manages the property, serving as agents for the homeowners association.
Company representatives told us Thursday they gave the owners of the condo units repeated notices, starting January 22nd, that the front stairwell would need to be replaced, and that during the construction, the tenants would have to vacate for four days.
The managers say the tenants, for whatever reason, wouldn't leave.
Manager Jennifer Harmon says at one point, the contractor put up plywood over the front to try to keep the tenants out so the work could get started, but the tenants took the plywood down.
"Unfortunately the tenant in one of the units began removing those boards, and so the contractors put them back up, they took pictures again of both the before and the after, and the tenant took them down again," said Harmon.
Harmon says it got to the point The Noble Company asked Horry County Code Enforcement to step in and condemn the front of the building, to force the tenants out so the delayed work could begin.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. --- The LaSalle hotel has been vacant for nearly 15 years but is now one step closer to reopening its doors to the public as an apartment building. The Redevelopment Commission approved an agreement to help in renovations.
The new developer, Real America, checks in weekly on the location and has a strong background in projects like this. The Redevelopment Commission approved a budget of $1.8 million to help with construction costs of the roof, windows and elevators. While it seems like a hefty investment, it's one that will help the city's future.
"It certainly would have cost the city a considerable amount of money to demolish a building and it's an historic structure," Scott Ford, Department of Community Investment said. "I think the ability to return it onto the tax rolls and introduce new residents downtown, and rehabilitate a jewel in our heritage. I certainly think it's worthwhile."
"The building has sat empty for 15 years so to have it back on the tax rolls is a big win for tax payers," Chris Fielding, Director of Business Development said. "But also to see it really become a thriving landmark in the downtown is huge for the vitality of downtown."
The former developer, Great Lakes Capital out of South Bend, had the initial winning bid but hadn't started work on the actual building in nearly a year.
The apartment building will have 67 units and parking in the lot next door between it and the Morris. There are 90 available parking spots. Construction is expected to begin in April and last 12 to 18 months.

Deveraux Developments Chief Operating Officer Jamie McDougald has some clarifications to make regarding prefabricated modular units.

The Strathmore -- a 24-unit condo complex in Reginas Cathedral area -- is seen. This Deveraux Developments complex earned the 2013 Regina and Region Home Builders Association Multi-Family Complex of the Year award, beating out traditional builds for the commendation.
Passionate about the work that his company does, Deveraux Developments Chief Operating Officer Jamie McDougald has some clarifications to make regarding prefabricated modular units.
Last month, the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region issued a request for proposals for a three-storey, 22-unit apartment building comprised solely of prefabricated modular units.
The tender had sparked opposition from the Prince Albert Construction Association, which notes in a letter to the health region that the criteria listed in the tender eliminates local contractors, subtrades and suppliers.
McDougald said that if the health region goes with a prefabricated module build they will get their apartment complex built faster and less expensively than with a traditional build.
Deveraux Developments has introduced more than 1,000 modular multi-family units in Regina over the last five years, he said.
In 2013, their The Strathmore complex -- a 24-unit condo in Regina -- beat out traditional builds to earn the 2013 Regina and Region Home Builders Association Multi-Family Complex of the Year award one of a handful of commendations the company has earned in recent years.
The bulk of builds are done indoors, offering a factory-controlled setting that isolates materials from the outdoor elements.

The Prince Albert Construction Association has issued the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region a letter to express their displeasure for a recent tender.

Victoria Hospital
Last month, the health region issued a tender for a three-storey, 22-unit apartment building north of Victoria Hospital, which would be comprised solely of prefabricated modular units.
The tender closed on Jan. 30, and the Prince Albert Construction Association hopes that the region does not move on any of its bidders.
The tender has eliminated all local general contractors, subtrades and suppliers in the Prince Albert region because of the criteria listed in your tender documents, a letter to the health region from the association reads.
These criteria include the specifications that only those who specialize in modular housing units, have experience in at least 1,000 units of multi-family modular construction and the proviso that the prefabricated modular units be built indoors.
The request for proposals also limits the possibility of other innovate and cost-saving solutions to be presented, the letter cautions.
The construction companies in the Prince Albert region have been heavily involved in supporting the work of the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region, either through financial or in-kind support, the letter continues.

Rhythm, a seven-story 140-unit apartment development planned for the Lower East Side of Milwaukee, will begin construction around April 1, according to developer Tim Gokhman.
The building will be built at 1632-1640 N. Water St., a site formerly occupied by The Curve bar.
Gokhman and Jim Wiechmann are the developers for the project. They recently selected Catalyst Construction as the general contractor for the project. The architect is Kindness Architecture.
Financing for the project has been secured, Gokhman said.
Weve got the loan commitments, he said.
The first two floors of the building will have 120 interior parking spaces and amenities for the apartments, including a fitness center and club house with an outdoor terrace.
The apartments will be on the upper five floors. Rents will start in the low $1,200s. The apartments will be a mix of studios and one-bedroom units.
The finishes will bring a new standard of luxury to the Milwaukee apartment market, and each and every apartment will have a very generous balcony/terrace, Gokhman said.
Construction is expected to be complete in mid-2016, he said.
Rhythm will be built in one of the hottest neighborhoods in the region for apartment development. Across the street, Mandel Group is building the third phase of its North End development, which will have a 29,500-square-foot Fresh Thyme Farmers Market grocery store and 168 luxury apartments. Several other apartment projects have been built recently or are planned in the area.

Princeton officials plan to tell the Christie administration how the state construction code can be improved in the wake of a fire at an AvalonBay apartment complex, the same company planning to build a development on Witherspoon Street.
Mayor Liz Lempert said at Tuesdays Princeton Council meeting that the administration is reviewing the code and seeking input from municipalities. The comment period ends March 1, she said.
She, Councilwomen Jenny Crumiller and Jo S. Butler and municipal staff will develop recommendations for the full council to consider at its meeting Feb.24 and then forward them to the state Department of Community Affairs.
Mayor Lempert has urged the administration to review the code before the DCA considers AvalonBays construction plans for a 280-unit development at the former Princeton Hospital. She has called for large multi-family buildings to have sprinklers throughout and concrete dividing walls.
An accidental fire broke out Jan.21 at an AvalonBay apartment complex in Edgewater, Bergen County. More than 500 people were left homeless by a blaze that tore through an apartment building.
Theyre still investigating exactly what happened with the fire there, and they cant be 100 percent sure that building was or was not built to code, Mayor Lempert said.
Municipal emergency management director Robert Gregory, in a response to a question from Ms. Crumiller, said he favored a change in regulations to require sprinklers in attics. He said that for most light-weight construction, there are sprinklers in egress ways and apartments.
Really what the sprinklers are for in that situation is life safety, he said.
Town engineer Robert V. Kiser, who has been monitoring the demolition, told council that the seven-story building on the site was brought down to grade level. Crews continue to work on the site.
Earlier in the meeting, Mayor Lempert briefed council on a phone conversation she had on Monday with AvalonBay Vice President Jon Vogel.

PRINCETON: Council to recommend construction code improvements to governor
A hodgepodge of stationery, envelopes, labels and staplers cluttered the cabinets and countertops at First United Methodist Church of Orlando last week.
Amid the sea of supplies stood professional organizer Jane Cole and director of youth ministry Justin Cox, who were trying to create order out of the chaos.
"These are 2014 pledge cards," Cox, 32, said as he leafed through an outdated stack. "So I think they go in the trash."
Cole, 51, stays especially busy this time of year as people seek help keeping New Year's resolutions to get organized.
She is one of 15 certified professional organizers in Florida. Some specialize in people with attention-deficit disorder, who tend to have chronic problems with organization. Others work with seniors planning to downsize, people about to relocate or bereaved families culling loved ones' belongings. A few confine themselves to digital organizing.
"The more responsibilities people have that pull them in different directions, the more difficult it is to stay organized," said Emily Green of the National Association of Professional Organizers.
Helping others get organized is a relatively young profession. The Board of Certification for Professional Organizers was created in 2007, but certification isn't required and Florida doesn't regulate practitioners.
Cole's path to the profession began when her widowed father died shortly after she graduated from the University of Central Florida. Then 22, she was distressed to find that her dad had left a jumble of documents for her to handle. She vowed to get her own paperwork in order so her heirs would have an easier time.
That led her to found Happy Home Organizing Solutions. She has spent the past 16 years paring piles of paperwork, combing through closets and culling kitchen clutter.
Typically, potential clients contact her after repeated failed attempts to get their homes or offices under control. Her largest demographic is women between 40 and 65, she said.
