Between 2014 and 2015, defendants falsified payroll summaries to indicate that workers were being paid prevailing wages for public works projects, when in fact, workers were paid less than prevailing wages. Defendants failed to pay employees approximately $281,000 in wages. Defendant Vickram Mangru owned and operated Vick Construction from 2012 to 2014, and when the company was disbarred by the NYC Comptroller’s Office from performing on public works projects for 5 years after failing to pay prevailing wages to workers, AVM was created by Vickram Mangru.
