A man is suing a Torrance-based property management company, alleging he was fired in 2023 for repeatedly reporting hazards at the property where he was a live-in manager and also because he complained about not being fully accommodated for on-the-job injuries.
Angelo Tafoya’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit, brought against TR Wealth Management Inc., includes allegations of disability discrimination, failure to accommodate and engage in the interactive process, retaliation and violations of various state Labor Code violations. He seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

A TR Wealth representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the suit Tafoya filed July 17.
Tafoya was hired in September 2011 as a resident manager for one property and an off-site manager for another, both within Los Angeles. Tafoya’s duties included answering tenants’ calls day and night, removing trash, handling and reporting repairs and notifying management of leaks and safety hazards on the property.
