I have a csl. i took a job with a restoration co. here in mass. I had pulled a few permits for the owner as he is not a csl. What is my risk and liabilty for doing this? he wants me to pull permits on jobs i'm not directly responsible for( the ones i did pull were my jobs)

Although I have seen numerous CSL holders pull permits for jobs they are not involved in, I definitely would not do it. The holder of the license is responsible for seeing that the work is performed in compliance with the building code. If a building inspector finds out you are not on the job, you could get in trouble with the BBRS and have your license suspended or worse. It is a really bad idea.

You will be at risk for any job you pull a permit on. Charge him a fee and supervise the other projects.
