Who can do electrical work in NYC?

Electrical work must be done by an electrician licensed by the NYC Department of Buildings, or by people working under one. A home improvement license alone does not cover it.

How do I check an electrician's license?

Ask for their Department of Buildings license number and look it up on the DOB website before work starts. The businesses here hold a home improvement license, so always check the electrical license too.

Does electrical work need a permit?
