    NEW YORK OFFICIALS ‘HAMMER’ UNLICENSED HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTORS IN COORDINATED MULTI-COUNTY ENFORCEMENT SWEEP

    Regional Consumer Protection Agencies and District Attorney Offices Announce Results of Multi-county Enforcement Effort

    New York officials today announced issuing nearly 700 violations and 17 criminal summonses or arrests, and the seizure of more than 130 vehicles owned by unlicensed home improvement contractors during a 5-week, multi-county enforcement sweep. Unlicensed home improvement contractors often fail to satisfactorily perform their work and cause significant damage to people’s homes, generally their largest personal asset. To better protect homeowners, The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) coordinated a multi-county enforcement sweep with regional consumer affairs departments and law enforcement agencies to target unlicensed home improvement contractors operating in the five boroughs and in the surrounding counties. DCA Commissioner Jonathan Mintz was joined by Nassau County Office of Consumer Affairs (OCA) Commissioner Roger C. Bogsted, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice and Westchester County Department of Consumer Protection Director Gary Brown for the announcement.

    Quick Tips for Hiring a Home Improvement Contractor:
    • Always use a licensed home improvement contractor and/or salesperson.
    Check with your local consumer protection agency to see if a contractor is licensed. Also make sure that the person you are negotiating with is a licensed home improvement salesperson and authorized to negotiate a contract on behalf of the contractor. Using a licensed contractor ensures that contractors are properly insured and that your local consumer protection agency can intervene on your behalf if there is a problem.

    • Get references.
    Check with at least three reputable references before hiring a contractor. In addition to checking with your local consumer protection agency, check with other surrounding areas including New York City, Suffolk, Nassau and Westchester counties for complaints.

    • Never pay cash.
    Never pay for repairs or improvements without a contract and never pay in cash. Pay no more than a quarter of the total amount upfront, up to a maximum $15,000, to get the work started. Then continue with ‘progress’ payments as work continues so payments are tied to specific work progress, with final payment due when all the work is completed to your satisfaction. Be sure to keep track of all paperwork and payments.

    • Know your contract rights.
    By law, homeowners have the right to cancel any contract within three days, including contracts for home repair and/or improvements. Many agencies, including DCA, provide a sample contract online. Always check the contract, especially for a cancellation notice.

    • Don’t finance improvements or repairs through your contractor.
    It is illegal for contractors to offer or arrange loans when soliciting or performing home improvement work in New York City. If financing is needed for repairs or improvements, investigate reliable and legitimate options on your own at your bank or credit union of choice.

    • Call your local consumer protection agency for more information.
    To file a complaint, check if a home improvement contractor is licensed, request free consumer and business publications, or inquire about license application requirements, contact your local consumer protection agency:
