WHAT THIS SITE DOES
A public-record check, not a ranking
We compare contractor names with selected license and entity registers, connect published projects to DOB records by building identifier, preserve the date of every check, and link the source. We do not sell leads or accept payment for placement.

HOW A RECORD IS BUILT
From a contractor name to address-level evidence
New York contractor records rarely live in one place. We connect separate public sources without turning a partial match into a recommendation.
- Establish the identityWe compare the published company name with the legal entity, phone, address and license identifiers.Read the license-check guide →
- Check official registersWe review selected DCWP, New York State business, workers’ compensation and DOB sources and record the last-checked date.See the full methodology →
- Connect work to buildingsPublished project addresses are resolved to a NYC building identifier and compared with DOB job and permit records.Browse contractor evidence →
- Keep claims separatePermit-matched work, DOB-only addresses and company-published projects without a matching permit remain visibly separate.Read the editorial policy →
USE THE RECORD CAREFULLY
What this catalog can—and cannot—tell you
The catalog can help you check whether we found a matching public record, see work tied to a specific NYC address, and open the evidence behind each statement.
It cannot judge workmanship, guarantee that a license remains current after the last-checked date, or capture every project. Residential masonry may not require a permit, and subcontracted work may appear under a general contractor.
