Licensed Contractors in New York
New York State licenses essentially no construction trades directly — NYC handles its own. The NYC Department of Buildings licenses general contractors, electrical contractors, master plumbers, and fire-suppression contractors (about 14,800 active), and DCWP licenses about 12,900 Home Improvement Contractors covering residential remodel work. Buffalo runs a separate city roster of 1,100 contractors. Outside NYC and Buffalo, contractor licensing is per-municipality with no statewide roster.
