On Sunday, November 15, at 11:00 AM a representative from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s Office will speak to Ethical Humanist Society about home improvement fraud as part of Attorney General Cuomo’s statewide Consumer Awareness Initiative. The presentation will discuss home improvement contracts law and will give helpful tips about the Attorney General’s website, www.nyknowyourcontractor.com, which provides New Yorkers with the tools they need to make informed decisions when it comes to hiring a home improvement contractor.

The website allows New Yorkers to see which contractors have been subject to legal action, and which contractors have had substantiated consumer complaints filed against them. Additionally, the website enables people to get assistance when selecting a reputable contractor, and gives people the ability to check the status of a contractor’s license. Home improvement professionals can use the website to find information on New York’s laws and procedures that govern the industry.

The event will be held at: Ethical Humanist Society, 38 Old Country Rd., Garden City.
