Longtime lurker, first time poster. Here is the situation: Hired a licensed contractor for a full brownstone gut job, had a written contract which required a hefty deposit, Paid said deposit and more on a bi weekly basis, Contractor walked off job afer doing the most basic work and took more than half of my money with him (way more than work done)–oh and he also didn’t file permits although it was his duty to under the deal. What to do now?
