SULLIVAN COUNTY — David Gizinski, 37, of Gizinski Construction, LLC has been arrested again in connection with two more contractor scams. The Defendant was originally arrested in March of this year when he took $13,656 from a Grahamsville couple as down payment on a roofing job that he never performed. The defendant was arrested again last week by deputies for taking $1,012.50 on a window replacement job in the Town of Thompson and $3,000 to repair a deck in Fallsburg. None of the work was ever started. “Sullivan County has a shortage of contractors”, said Sheriff Mike Schiff. “Homeowners are often anxious to get a repair done and go with the first one who calls them back and shows a little interest in their job. Unless you check these people put thoroughly you might wind up having a problem”. The Sheriff urged citizens to do some research, look at the Better Business Bureau website, internet reviews and social media to see what other people’s experiences have been with a contractor that you are thinking of hiring. “If a contractor wants full payment in advance or asks you to give them a positive review before they even start the job, that’s a red flag”, said Schiff. Gizinski was released under New York’s bail reform laws pending a future court appearance.
