Federal (IRS) Tax Lien, Ayva Center
The Ayva Center at 3971 Richmond Ave., in Houston, Texas (EXACT same address as 101 Poker Richmond) is owned by Ali Reza Yazdani, also referred to as “Alex.” We’ll call him “Ali Yaz.”
In our opinion, Ali Yaz has been running quite a s#!t shoe at this location for quite a few years. He’s had liens slapped on him and his place of business a number of times both by the IRS and by the state of Texas.
The Federal tax lien from the IRS was for $11,842.95.
The Texas liens were for non-payment of his “Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts Tax.” They’ve added up to tens of thousands of dollars.
Take a look at this example filed for the state of Texas through Harris County:
Ayva Center, Houston, Texas – State of Texas tax lien
Ali Yaz has quite a rocky time over the years. His wife, An Vo, who once partnered with him in the business, filed for divorce some years ago. As the petitioner for the. Divorce, An Vo noted that “The parties were married on or about May 26, 2009 and ceased to live together as husband and wife on or about February 1, 2014.”
Also, in the section listed as grounds for divorce there’s this: “The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner [An Vo] and Respondent [Ali Yaz] that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.”
Ali Yaz and An Vo, as principles in the Ayva Center business, had a judgement for nearly $319,000 slapped on them a while back, in 2015, along with some additional six figures assessed to them also in fines, penalties and other costs.
Ouch.
An Vo also was involved in another business (dba) as principle in “An Affair to Remember” located at 7119 South W. Freeway in Houston. She was also hit with a judgement in Harris County, Texas, related to that business for $6754.45 (judgement plus attorney’s fees).
There also were several smaller judgements totaling in the hundreds of dollars separately, for various other nonpayments related to their businesses.
Not a good track record for these folks.
Ali Yaz also has been the defendant in a number of lawsuits. We’ll detail those in subsequent write ups.
