NYC License Req’t for Contractor


I’m looking to hire a Mechanical/HVAC contractor. But I’m confused about the city’s licensing requirements.

One company I’m considering has a “tracking number” at the Department of Buildings and is described as a “general contractor”

Do they need to be licensed as a “home improvement contractor” with the Dept of Consumer Affairs also?

Seeking Dryer Vent Installer


…for a common laundry room in a condominium building.

My condo is currently seeking bids and proposals to relocate our dryer vents.

Any recs? What sort of professional would be appropriate for this work? A plumber? An HVAC contractor?

Thanks!

Building Performance Analyst


I’m looking for a building performance inspector/analyst that is available in Queens.

I’m concerned about air quality in my condo. There’s a dryer vent from the building laundry room that exhausts into my apt.

I’d like someone with expertise in building science and airflow to assess my situation.

I searched the NY Energy Smart website for Home Performance Contractors.

But the relevant businesses often don’t have phone numbers that accept messages or don’t seem available.

Any recommendations would be most welcome. Thank you in advance.
