Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to home improvement contractors
Purpose
To prohibit home improvement contractors from continuing to work on new construction if the home improvement contractor license is revoked.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of this bill amends subdivision 2 of section 20-386 of the administrative code of the city of New York by removing (i) "the construction of a new home or building or work done by a contractor in compliance with a guarantee of completion of a new building project."
Section 2 of this bill states that this act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law.
Justification
Currently a person or business must have a Home Improvement Contractor license from the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs if engaged in construction, repair, remodeling, or addition to any land or building used as a residence.
However "new construction" is specifically excluded from the definition of home improvement under NYC Admin Code Section 20-386 (2) (i). This bill would prohibit contractors from continuing to work on new construction if their home improvement license is revoked by removing this exclusion from the definition of "home improvement".
