Questions about this bond
Does a roofing or electrical credential replace the bond?
The City lists the credential as an additional requirement for those trades, alongside the trade-specific bond and registration documents.
Do the plumbing, alarm and elevator categories require this bond?
The City's stated instructions for those categories require the applicable State license and say the trade-specific bond and insurance certificate are not required. Follow the category that applies to your work.
Does the one-year City license set the bond term?
The City's one-year rule concerns the license. Use the accepted bond request and issued document's own dates rather than assuming a fixed term or automatic registration renewal.
