Can my license from another state suffice?
New YorkIf I am an HVAC contractor with a home improvement contractor's license in the state of NJ, can I do HVAC work in NYC with the same license? Want to make sure I am compliant in case a lien needs to be filed.

No. NYC has its own home improvement licensing application and fee. You must have an active license. Working without a license can result in forfeiting 100% of the contract amount. There are different requirements for outside-NYC within New York State.

There are separate licensing requirements for residential and commercial. Feel free to reach out, as I regularly advise contractors on licensure in my practice.
