Business ProfileforZebra Construction Inc.

City of Los Angeles required me to install seismic earthquake retrofit. I hired a qualified licensed contractor, Zebra Construction of Los Angeles. Signed contract March 28, 2022. Total work estimate including pre-work launch fees officially $42,300. This estimate appears on July 20 Zebra document, with City of LA letterhead. Work began August 15, finished September 13. Work was conducted under five work stages defined by Zebra. Zebra informed me work proceeded smoothly and very fast throughout, encountering zero difficulties which would necessitate additional costs. Zebra never informed me there would be a need to go over estimate, nor is there evidence such need ever arose. 1st complaint: Zebra has never met my request for itemized billing, nor even acknowledged my requests. I sought an itemized bill that disclosed total hours of labor, brief description of materials and their cost, for the work stages. Instead, Zebra has only provided me throughout a highly simplified schema for an itemized bill, which discloses only lump sums under five total headings for work stages. The schema is completely non-explanatory, making me vulnerable to fraud, and I have made it clear this is unacceptable. I have not received a response from Zebra. 2nd complaint: I have paid Zebra $42,300 + $2500 fees per contract's Schedule B. Zebra is demanding additional $440.59. I see no point in paying this charge (see 1st paragraph). Zebra doesn't justify additional charge, nor acknowledge my requests for justification. On September 24, I rec'd in mail revised bill demanding $290.00, crediting me $150.59. Zebra gives no explanation or justification for arriving at this new figure. I have not paid it. 3rd complaint: Zebra has abandoned portable toilet on my property. Flies accumulating around this facility. Zebra kept haphazard record locking toilet at daily closing time. Toilet left unlocked by Zebra for past 13 days. Toilet is street accessible, danger to my tenants left unlocked.
