Change of business address, ownership, management, or trade name must be reported to DCA within how many days?

  1. 5 days

  2. 10 days

  3. 15 days

  4. 30 days

The correct answer is: 10 days

Reporting changes in business address, ownership, management, or trade name to the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) within 10 days is crucial for maintaining compliance with local regulations. This requirement ensures that the DCA has accurate and up-to-date information regarding businesses operating in New York. Timely reporting helps protect consumers by allowing for proper tracking of licensed contractors and ensuring that they are operating under the correct business details. It also allows for seamless communication between the DCA and the business, especially when there may be inspections or other administrative needs. By adhering to this 10-day notification rule, contractors demonstrate professionalism and a commitment to regulatory compliance, which is essential for building trust and credibility in the marketplace.
