Building Contractors Face A High Level Of Regulation

Home improvement contractors are subject to regulation at the state level, at the county level in Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties, and in New York City’s five boroughs, as well as at some town, village and city levels.

By New York state statute, contracts between home improvement contractors and homeowners must contain certain information and certain protections for the homeowner. Under the New York State Lien Law, payments made by a homeowner in advance of the contractor performing the work are deemed trust funds, and the contractor is under a fiduciary duty to hold such funds for application of the work.

As a contractor, you will need a trusted lawyer to guide you through the regulatory process. Located in Long Island, Silverberg P.C. long has provided remodeling contractors advice regarding a wide variety of legal issues throughout the New York City area.
