The department says there are more than 10,800 home improvement contractors licensed to work in New York City. That amounts to a 70 percent increase in licensed contractors from five years ago.
Officials say consumers should be very careful when they hire people to renovate their homes.
The agency has fielded more than 900 consumer complaints about contractors this year.
