THIS IS AN F.Y.I FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC:

DO NOT HIRE THIS “CONTRACTOR” FOR YOUR JOBS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

1. HIS LICENSE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED.

2. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED BOND.

3. HE HIRES UNQUALIFIED WORKERS, MOST TIMES WORKERS THAT STAND OUTSIDE OF HOME IMPROVEMENT STORES.

4. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK FOR WORKMAN'S COMP AND IT’S ILLEGAL TO HIRE HIM AS A CONTRACTOR.

5. HE CANNOT USE HIS LICENSE LEGALLY, AND CAN ONLY DO HANDYMAN WORK, WHICH MEANS HE CANNOT DO JOBS OVER $500.00 WORTH OF WORK.

6. HE CANNOT PULL ANY PERMITS BECAUSE OF HIS LICENSE SUSPENSION.

7. HE DOESN’T FINISH HIS JOBS, AND LEAVES THE CLIENTS HALF WAY THROUGH THE JOB.

8. HE NEVER GIVES CORRECT ESTIMATES, AND RUNS OUT OF MONEY HALF WAY THROUGH THE JOB.

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CONTRACTOR BEFORE HIRING THEM. HERE’S THE WEBSITE TO CHECK, ALONG WITH HIS STATUS:

https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicens e/LicenseDetail.asp

License is under suspension for the following reasons:

1. License is under Contractors Bond Suspension. A contractor's bond may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the bond is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the bond. Ask the contractor for proof of a contractor's bond and contact the bonding company to verify bond status.

HERE'S THE SITE FOR THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND HIS STATUS:

http://www.la.bbb.org/businessreport.aspx?companyid =13073465


HIS RATING ON BBB IS AN “F”.

DO NOT TRUST THIS CONTRACTOR FOR YOUR JOBS.

I too had a horrific experience with Air 1. I was doing a move from Central CA to Northern CA and thought I had thoroughly vetted the company. The move ended up being the most stressful thing I have ever done. The movers were fantastic, but the foreman was a complete a$$. He was rude to my wife and daughter and made racial comments about his workers to us. He was 2 hours late to begin with and then started telling us that we were going to have to pay to have all our furniture wrapped when the quote we received said it included all the wrapping and assembly/disassembly. Like the other ratings here, he rushed me through the paperwork and did not explain any of it. He asked me to sign blank credit card receipts and tried several times to overcharge me for services that were included. Luckily my wife speaks fluent spanish and was able to heed the warnings of the workers who explained that he tried to rip everyone off and to watch ourselves. They tried to bill us an additional $800.00 for additional truck space when we had ordered an entire 24' truck. It took 15 minutes of yelling to resolve that issue with the main office. All in all there are too many things that went wrong to recap them all, but I will say that we are missings items from our move and we are still waiting for the main office to call us back to resolve this. ( Going on a month now ). I would strongly recommend no one ever use this company for moving. Good Luck

this place is horrible! I lived there for one year and everything and everyone was nice in the beginning of the lease that is. First off, this place is in a very bad area where there is a group of gangsters that live a block away! You can expect to hear cops and helicopters at night and drunk neighbors!!

Unfortunately, I did not learn all this until after I moved in. Everything seems nice at first but it's not. The walls are horribly thin so you can hear everything your neighbors are doing. The laundry room only works with cards of $20 denominations, so you have to at least buy one for 20 bucks! And be careful to not lose them because the landlord is completely stingy!!! Yes she will charge an arm an a leg for anything lost so be careful! When I moved out the landlord charged me over $1000.00 cleaning fees and my apartment was in good condition!! Yes complete rip off so I am warning you be careful if you decide to reside here ... it's not worth it! I would try to find another place if I were you! Not only do they take most of your security deposit and over charge for every little thing, they also will ask for 3 months up front when you first apply!! There are so many other places that are way nicer, cheaper and in decent areas believe me this place is shit and watch out for the landlord!! She is a major stingy unethical person and will take your money!!

I would not recommend anyone renting an apartment in this building. First of all, it has termites. Second, the owner is a slumlord who refuses to make any repairs. Many units have stoves, smoke detectors, etc. that do not work. The owner has had complaints lodged against her with the City of Los Angeles' Department of Housing and the Housing Rights Commission. Consider yourself warned.

NIGHTMARE ON MAPLE STREET

As a six-year tenant of one of Mr. Chung's buildings, I have nothing but horror stories. It goes way beyond crappy repairs that take forever: in order to drive out long-standing rent-controlled tenants, George Chung Realty rents to a parade of criminals and mental patients.

In the six years that I've lived in my ten-unit building, five nightmare tenants have been taken away in handcuffs after disrupting the peace, threatening and in one case assaulting other tenants. In the past month alone (May 2009) the police have been called six times and there have been two arrests.

We, the law-abiding tenants have repeatedly accused Mr. Chung of deliberately seeking out a criminal element, to which he replies "Prove it."

I would strongly advise against renting anything from George Chung Realty.





I COULD NOT AGREE MORE. CHUNG and his people are thugs.

Hey Melrose, thanks for doing a great job. Not sure if you remember who I am, but I'm the lady that asked you to move her while she was at work. I was worried how everything would go without me actually being there, but when I arrived to my new place, you guys did a great job. You even put my things in the closet! Thanks. Where can I buy those wardrobe boxes? They're good for storage, I think.

I was told about this company from my friend who moved from Marina del Rey to Sherman Oaks. He said that they did a good job, so I called to ask for prices, which were pretty affordable. I also hired them to move within Beverly Hills, and I can say they did do a good job. Everything was moved carefully down two flight of stairs, and arrived in my new townhouse. The movers even helped me decide how to arrange furniture. lol
