Unlicensed Contractor Could Not Sue for Breach of Contract or Quantum Meruit

The Second Department affirmed the dismissal of a contractor’s “breach-of-contract” and “quantum-meruit” causes of action because the contractor was not licensed, and thereby forfeited his right to recover:

Where a home improvement contractor is not properly licensed in the municipality where the work is performed at the time the work is performed, the contractor forfeits the right to recover for the work performed both under the contract and on a quantum meruit basis …. Administrative Code of Suffolk County § 563-17(A) provides, in pertinent part, that “[i]t is unlawful for any person to engage in any business as a home improvement contractor without obtaining a license therefor.” Graciano Corp v Baronoff, 2013 NY Slip Op 03301, 2nd Dept, 5-8-13
