How licensing works in New York

Licensing handled by counties and cities. New York licenses contractors at the local level. New York City and the downstate counties each run their own home improvement and trade licensing.

The term New York uses for the individual who qualifies a company is licensed individual. Whatever the label, the duty is the same everywhere: the qualifier must actually supervise and have authority over the work and the business affairs the license covers. A license that is merely lent to a company is not a qualifier arrangement and exposes both parties to discipline.
