New Jersey contractor accused of taking $150K in insurance money & abandoning a fire-damaged family home — Brick City Builders' Tyreek Griffith responds to scam allegations. The Calixte family of Irvington, New Jersey hired family friend and contractor Tyreek Griffith of Brick City Builders to rebuild their home after a devastating fire. The $420,000 project was split into phases — but after paying $150,000 for phase two, the family says work stalled, a foundation wall collapsed without proper notification, unapproved construction deviated from the structural engineer's plans, and Griffith eventually went silent. Now, the family has filed a civil complaint seeking a $180,000 refund. TSR Investigates' Justin Carter gets both sides — sitting down with the Calixte family and calling up Griffith directly to hear his response. Is this a case of contractor negligence, or is there more to the story?
