The Staten Island, NY Local Code Shield
Any legitimate roofing contractor operating in Richmond County must hold an active Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license from the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). Furthermore, compliance with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) Chapter 15 code is non-negotiable, requiring specific ice-dam protection membranes extending at least 24 inches inside the warm wall line. From St. George to Tottenville, failing to secure a DOB permit for projects replacing more than 25% of a roof deck can result in severe municipal penalties and invalidated property insurance.
