Caveats: New York State does not license contractors; this covers only New York City Home Improvement Contractor licenses. NYC DOB plumber/electrician licenses are published without addresses, so they cannot be placed by ZIP. Other NY cities/counties (e.g. Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester) license locally and are not included. We show city, ZIP and phone (when the state lists one) but never street addresses.
