Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin today announced that undercover enforcement operations carried out by the Division of Consumer Affairs (“Division”) resulted in Notices of Violation (“NOVs”) and civil penalties against 18 home improvement contractor businesses (“HICBs”) and 11 moving companies allegedly doing business in New Jersey without the required registrations or licenses.
“Businesses should never take advantage of hardworking New Jerseyans. Unfortunately, businesses operating without a proper license or registration pose a risk to consumers through potential poor service quality, property damage, and a lack of legal recourse should something go wrong,” said Attorney General Platkin. “By proactively identifying and taking enforcement action against these businesses, we’re reducing the risks to consumers and sending the message that this unlawful conduct will not be tolerated.”
